The determination of the trajectory of the motion of a balloon probe in the Venusian atmosphere via VLBIThe trajectories of the motion of balloons floating freely in the Venusian atmosphere (the Vega project) are measured via VLBI. The balloon in the southern hemisphere moved with an average velocity of 66 m/s. The latitudinal velocity component was equal to 3.4 + or - 0.5 m/s and was directed northward. The velocity of the balloon in the northern hemisphere was equal to 69 m/s and was directed nearly parallel to the equator.
