Jets are a ubiquitous feature in many different astrophysical objects. Among the best systems to study jet properties and formation are Galactic X-ray binaries (XRBs), systems composed of a neutron star or black hole accreting matter from a `normal' star mass donor. The past few years have seen significant advances in the characterization of jets in XRBs, particularly through modeling of the broad band spectral distribution from the radio to the X-rays. Unfortunately, with few exceptions, the mid-infrared measurements which are crucial in establishing the connection between the near-IR and radio emission have not been performed owing to the technical difficulty in undertaking such observations from the ground. We will present Spitzer Space Telescope observations of the neutron star XRB Sco X-1, as well as simultaneous X-ray, optical, near-IR, and radio observations obtained to constrain the contribution of jet radiation to the broadband spectrum of the system.
