An ultraviolet spectrum of NGC 7662 was obtained with a rocket-borne telescope in a 130 s exposure using a microchannel plate detector and film. In addition to the three strong ultraviolet lines of C III], C IV, and He II seen previously in NGC 7027, a new strong line of [Ne IV] at 2440 Å and a prominent continuum were measured in NGC 7662. The observed fluxes are given for both the lines and the continuum on an absolute basis, with a typical accuracy of about 25 percent. The absolute calibration is based primarily on in-flight observations of the stars α Lyr and α And, which have been well measured in the ultraviolet. This calibration is confirmed by laboratory data and by photoelectric observations from the ANS satellite.
