The N = 0 yields 1 and 1 yields 2 rotational transitions of CCH at 87 and 174 GHz, respectively, have been detected in a laboratory glow discharge in a mixture of He and C2H2. The spectroscopic constants of CCH derived from measurements of the hfs of the transitions agree well with those derived from astronomical observations, confirming the astronomical detection of CCH. As the CCH lines in the Orion Nebula are narrower than the laboratory lines but less certain in rest frequency owing to uncertainty in the radial velocity, the most accurate values for the spectroscopic constants of CCH are obtained from a simultaneous fit of both the laboratory and astronomical data. For the rotation, centrifugal distortion, spin-rotation, and hyperfine constants, respectively, the values found are within 0.006 of 43674.534 MHz, within 0.0008 of 0.1071 MHz, within 0.004 of -62.606 MHz, b = within 0.019 MHz of 40.426, and c is within 0.026 of 12.254 MHz.
