The results of two stratospheric balloon experiments conducted to measure the atmospheric X-and gamma rays are presented. These experiments, conducted at Comandante Ferraz base in subantarctic region, have provided the spectrum of ground radioactivity in gamma rays (0.2 to 2.9 MeV) and atmospheric X-ray spectra at different altitudes. The observed ceiling spectrum of X-rays in the 28 to 180 KeV region observed at 7.0 g/sq cm are discussed. The data of other experiments with different telescope geometrics were utilized to evaluate the buildup effects due to cosmic ray secondaries in atmosphere. This behavior previously studied for atmospheric gamma rays, permitted the comparison of the up/down flux ratios to explain the observed atmospheric X-ray spectrum.
