Abstract

We present in this paper the results from a X-ray astronomy payload flown aboard a Centaur rocket on 30 July, 1977 from TERLS, Thumba. The rocket attained an apogee of 150 km and the experiment performed satisfactorily providing about 200 s of data above 105 km.

A source at the position of recurrent transient 4U 0115+63 has been detected. Details of this source and other results are presented in this paper.
