On 15 June 1985, the automatic interplanetary station Vega-2 released landing module and an independent aerostatic probe into the planet's atmosphere. The station has passed beyond Venus to a distance of 24,500 kilometers from its surface and is continuing its flight toward Halley's Comet. On 13 June a descent module separated from the station as it was approaching Venus. This module separated into an aerostatic probe and a landing module on 15 June. Soviet and international networks of ground radio telescopes are receiving information from the probe, which is equipped with a unique radio system, and they are fixing its coordinates and rate of movement. The landing module made a soft landing on the dark side of Venus. The composition and physical characteristics of the atmosphere were studied as the module descended through it.
