    • Abstract:  The goals of the Vega-1 and -2 experiments were to trace the large- and small-scale motions, measure the turbulent heat and momentum flow in the cloud layer, and determine the physical parameters of the Venus atmosphere. The arrangement of the balloon-probe payload, the balloon-deployment sequence, and the balloon flight paths are described. The balloons drifted latitudinally in the Venus atmosphere about one-third the way around the planet at a height of 53-54 km and speeds close to 67 m/sec. The balloon-probe signals, recorded on earth by radio telescopes of ten countries, are being processed.
