We present the late-time Hubble Space Telescope observations of the supernova, SN 2006aj, associated with the X-ray flash (XRF) 060218. Using the multi-color observations, covering ~150-260 days after the burst, we constrain the late-time decay nature of the supernova.. The late-time decay rates in SN 2006aj are quite similar to those of SN 1998bw except in the B band. We find that the late-time luminosity in SN 2006aj is a factor of two less than that of SN 1998bw which suggests a factor of two less in the ejected mass of 56Ni.
