Scientific paper

Three types of rocket-borne X-ray instruments were constructed; they consist 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 used to observe the intensities of X-rays from 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 to analyze the energy spectrum of galactic X-rays and to reject charged particles. Their counter systems were successful to obtain several data of galactic X-rays and atmospheric X-rays, and the method of data analyses as well as preliminary results are also described.
