The PLASMAG-1 plasma instrument package included two Faraday cups. One was oriented along the spacecraft-comet relative velocity vector and detected secondary electrons and ions produced by neutrals striking a metallic emitter. The results of these measurements performed on VEGA-1 and -2 are discussed, and the density profiles of neutral particles in the coma of comet Halley out to cometocentric distances of 3×106km are presented.
