In this paper we describe an experiment designed to measure solar and celestial X-rays in the energy range between 15 to 250 keV. The experiment was flown on the fifth Orbiting Solar Observatory which was launched on 22 January 1969. Up to the time of this writing the instrument continues to operate satisfactorily.
