On 23 February 1987, supernova 1987A exploded in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC). This event offers the possibility of studying the evolution of a nearby supernova remnant from the earliest beginnings over the entire electromagnetic spectrum with unprecedented sensitivity. We searched for soft X-ray emission (0.2-2.1 keV) from SN1987A by means of a sounding rocket-borne experiment on 24 August. No positive signal was detected, and an upper limit for the luminosity of 1.5x1036erg s-1, between 0.2-2.1 keV at a 95% confidence level has been derived.
