Scientific paper

A large-area high-sensitivity hard X-ray experiment, operating in the energy range 15-300 keV, has been successfully flown twice (1986 and 1987) from the balloon launching facility of Trapani-Milo (Sicily). The telescope consists of two different arrays: scintillation detectors (NaI, 5.5-mm thick and actively shielded) with a total area of 2,700 sq cm and multiwire proportional counters with a total sensitive area of 900 sq cm. Preliminary results are presented on the Crab, used as an in-flight calibration source, and on the extragalactic objects 3C273, NGC 4151, and MCG 8-11-11.
