Scientific paper

An important stage of the international project Venus-Halley's Comet has been accomplished. A fundamentally new experiment for the study of the circulation of Venus' atmosphere and of its meteorological parameters was begun on 11 June 1985. Flying a distance of approximately 500 million kilometers in six months, the Vega-1 station reached the vicinity of Venus and on 9 June released a descent module which entered the atmosphere on 11 June. This module separated into a landing module and an aerostatic probe. The aerostatic probe, whose gas bag filled with helium following the separation, is drifting in the atmosphere at an altitude of 54 kilometers. Installed on the probe are a radio-transmitting complex and scientific apparatus for measurements of parameters of Venus' atmosphere and cloud cover.
