The Soviet automatic station Vega-1, whose flight is taking place within the framework of the multipurpose international project Venera-kometa Galleya, has successfully performed its program of research of Halley's Comet. On March 6, 1986, the Vega-1 station passed through the comet's gas and dust shell at a distance of about 9,000 kilometers from its nucleus and performed comprehensive scientific studies of this heavenly body for the first time. With the aid of apparatus developed jointly by scientists and specialists of the USSR, Austria, Bulgaria, the German Democratic Republic, Poland, France, the Federal Republic of Germany, and Czechoslovakia, large-scale pictures of the comet nucleus were obtained, and measurements were made of the temperature and other physical chemistry characteristics of the comet. The chemical composition of gas and dust component substances of the comet were analyzed, and studies were made of the electromagnetic fields around the comet and of physical processes taking place in its shell.
