We report a measurement of the background spectrum based on 10000 counts observed in the energy range 2 10 keV. The rocketborne detector system was optimised for cosmic ray noise rejection. A best fit power law spectrum {dN}/{dE} = 16E^{ - 1.8} photons{text{ }}cm^{ - 2} s^{ - 1} sr^{ - 1} keV^{ - 1} . resulted from the analysis. At 10 keV this result is consistent with recently assessed higher energy data. We show therefore that the change in spectral index between 5 and 50 ke V is approximately -0.2.
