Preliminary results of two rocket flights carrying X-ray payloads conducted from Thumba Equatorial Rocket Launching Station (TERLS), Trivandrum, India, on November 3, 1968, and November 7, 1968, respectively, are presented. The results indicate the first evidence for the existence of low energy X-ray flux in the energy range 2–20 keV from Cen-X2 source since the reported extinction in May, 1967. The energy spectrum and the absolute flux of X-rays from Cen-X2, Sco-X1 and Tau-X1 are presented and compared with other observations.
