This data set consists of a series of plots of solar wind flow speed, density, and temperature measured by the Soviet VEGA-1 and VEGA-2 spacecraft. The time scales are highly compressed, 3 days 1 inch on the originals. Data resolution is possible to almost an hourly scale. The data are very gappy; in all there are 10 swaths of continuous data, mostly 15-25 days in length. Gaps between these swaths range from days to months. There are no spacecraft positional information given with the data.
