The ALEXIS satellite, launched 25 April, 1993 by the Pegasus Air Launched Vehicle, is in a 750×850 km, 70 degree inclination orbit. The six on board telescopes tuned between 66-93 eV were designed to eliminate the geocoronal background either with the He II 304 A˚ anti-reflection coating on the mirror or filters in front of the detector. Before launch, the telescopes were assumed to be continuously operated with an estimated background counting rate of 10-30 c/s. At first light, it was these assumptions that were proven to be incorrect. This paper presents the results of the study of the anomalous background observed by the ALEXIS telescopes.
