Three X-ray transition radiation (XTR) detectors, installed aboard the 'Intercosmos-17' satellite, were used to measure the transition radiation of cosmic-ray electrons. Each of the detectors included an emitter consisting of one hundred 12.5-micron-thick mylar films spaced 750 microns apart and a proportional counter filled with 95 percent xenon and 5 percent methane at a pressure of 0.95 atm. 100,000 electron events with energies exceeding 1 GeV were examined and the following data were recorded for each energy value: ionization in the counter, the true number of quanta absorbed in the counter and the energy of each quantum. The total energy release in the counter was also determined. The experimental results were found to be in good agreement with the theoretical predictions of the XTR theory for a layered detector.
