A new subdwarf B star has been discovered by the ultraviolet sky survey telescope (S2/68). Its ultraviolet photometry corresponds to an almost unreddened early B star with V = 11.5 mag. The visible spectrum is dominated by strong broad Balmer lines and is characteristic of the subdwarf B stars. A preliminary analysis of available data yields atmospheric parameters: effective temperature of 32,500 K, log (g) = 5.25, and a helium/hydrogen abundance ratio of 0.017. The radial velocity may be variable.
