Scientific paper

Balloon observations of the X-ray source Sco X-1 carried out in November 1978 have revealed a thermal spectrum with kT ≅ 7 keV in the 20 - 60 keV energy band. In addition, there was evidence of a high energy component, possibly variable, above ≡50 keV. The spectral form of this component could not be determined but was hard with a 60 keV flux of ≡10-4 photons (keV cm2 s)-1.
