The hard X-ray background of the Galaxy was investigated using data from the UCSD cosmic X-ray telescope on the OSO-7 satellite. The results are relevant to a variety of emission mechanisms and thus probe the interstellar medium and the distribution of cosmic rays, magnetic fields, radiations, and low luminosity X-ray sources in the Galaxy. The data were selected to remove errors, earth or horizon events, and trapped or precipitating particles. Each azimuthal accumulation was rebinned into fixed energy bins, taking account of the variable instrument gain from orbit to orbit, and into a system of one square degree spatial bins fixed in galactic coordinates, in such a way as to preserve the full space and energy resolution of the instrument. The instrumental and isotropic X-ray background was determined for each orbit from those bins of the scan circle that were away from known strong X-ray sources. The results were summed into two-dimensional maps of the sky.
