Three types of rocket-borne X-ray instruments were constructed; they consists of a scintillation counter, four proportional counters, and twenty-three GM counters respectively. The scintillation counter was used to observe isotropic X-rays in the energy ranges of 5˜10, 10˜15, 15˜20 and ≥20 KeV, and the proportional counters to observe the intensities of X-rays from several sources in the energy ranges of 2˜4, 4˜8 and 8˜16 KeV. The GM counters were perepared to observe the intensities of X-rays form several sources in the wavelength ranges of 2˜4, 4˜8 and 7˜11 Å. Their properties were tested by radioactive sources and were found to be suitable for analyzing the energy spectrum of galactic X-rays while rejecting charged particles. Two of the counter systems were used for the observations of X-rays, and the method of data analysis as well as some of the raw data are discribed.
