DURING a search for celestial sources of X-ray emission, several opportunities arose to detect X-rays associated with Jupiter's radiation belts. The observations presented here were obtained from three successive scans of Jupiter made by a proportional counter flown on an Aerobee rocket launched from Wallops Island, Virginia. Although significant X-ray fluxes (which were time-dependent and apparently associated with or led to horizon effects) were observed, no X-ray flux from Jupiter was detected. The observations given in Fig. 1 below led to a conservative upper limit of 2.4 × 10-8 ergs/cm2 sec for the flux of 4-8 keV (3-1.5 Å) photons from Jupiter between 0603 U.T. and 0605 U.T. on September 30, 1962.
