The results of an EXOSAT observation of the radio and X ray pulsar PSR 1509-58, associated with the supernova remnant MSH 15-52 are presented. In the energy range 1.5 to 10 keV the radiation flux detected by the medium energy instrument was fitted with a power law. The period of the pulsar was measured with a value of approx. 0.150362 s, in agreement with the value obtained from the low energy data (energy range 0.02 to 2.5 keV), and with extrapolation from previous observations at X and radio frequencies.
