In January 1977 the supernova remnants Vela X and Puppis A were observed in the soft X-ray region by a sounding rocket experiment consisting of 12 X-ray paraboloidal collectors. To improve the energy resolution of the proportional counter detectors, filter spectroscopy has been applied. Besides the temperature and interstellar column density, flux values for the dominant lines (O VII, O VIII, Ne IX, Fe XVII, and Fe XVIII) and corresponding abundances have been derived. Further intrinsic parameters of both SNR's could be deduced from a general shock wave model for SNR's.
