Absolute photometry of the southern Orion region was carried out for five passbands in the vacuum ultraviolet (1300-2000 A, Delta Lambda = 84 A) with a rocket-borne spectrometer. More than 60 early-type stars and the diffuse background radiation were observed within the raster-scanned field of 8 x 8 deg centered at alpha = 5 h 30 m and delta = -4 deg. Stellar data suggest a revision of the current absolute scale by 10-30 percent, which relatively suppresses the flux toward shorter wavelengths. The present data of the background radiation have the highest spectral resolution among those published and indicate a steep systematic increase of the flux toward shorter wavelengths. Direct consequences of the new calibration are briefly discussed.
