Abstract During the pass of VEGA-2 near Comet Halley spectra in the 2750 ÷ 7000 Å region are registered by the three channel spectrometer on board. Spectra from different parts of the comet coma are obtained by scanning. The spectra are deconvoluted by means of regularizational algorithm. Bands of the following cometary atmospheric species are identified: OH, NH, CN, Ca, CH, C3, NH2, H2O+, CO+, CO2 +.
