We present the first FUV observation of the Aquila Rift region near the Galactic plane by the FIMS instrument flown aboard the STSAT-1. Various wavelength datasets are used to compare with our FUV observation. While the core of the Aquila Rift suffers heavy dust extinction, the FUV continuum emission outside the Aquila Rift is found to be proportional to the certain amount of dust. The FUV Intensity clearly correlates with the dust extinction for E(B-V) < 0.3,, while anti-correlation is seen for E(B-V) > 0.3, which is in agreement with Hurwitz (1994) and Luhman & Jaffe (1996). Our entire field of view basically consists of inside and outside of Aquila Rift. The "Aquila-East,” "Aquila-Serpens,” and "Aquila-West,” are the inside sub-regions, and the "Scutum,” "Halo,” "Ophiuchus,” and "Hercules” are the outside. The CLOUD model and the calculation of H2 fluorescent line intensities are applied to investigate the physical conditions of each inside sub-region. Based on the velocity break (l 33°) in CO emission and our result that the H2 fluorescent emission is poor in the "Aquila-East” region compared to the "Aquila-Serpens” and "Aquila-West” regions although the ``Aquila-East'' is similar to the other two inside sub-regions, we conclude the east region of Aquila is different in molecular condition or dust distribution, which may be related with the fact that the "Aquila-East” region is lack of star-forming regions. Furthermore, by calculating the line ratio of H2 fluorescent emissions, the characteristics of temperature and amount of dust can be expected for each sub-region.
