We present RXTE timing observations of the X-ray pulsar 1E1145.1-6141. This source is one of a pair of X-ray pulsars which are seperated in the sky by only 15 arcmin, and have very similar pulse periods (1E1145.1-6141 at 292 s and 2S1145-619 at 297 s). By observing when 2S1145-619 is near apastron of its 186 day orbit, we have been able to minimize the contamination from that source and detect the orbit of 1E1145.1-6141. We find a preliminary orbit period of 14.385 +/- 0.02d. We will present measurements of the other Keplerian orbital parameters and constraints on the system parameters.
