In July 1963, the U. S. Naval Research Laboratory flew an Aerobee rocket equipped with a Bragg Crystal Spectrometer in an attempt to record an x-ray spectrum of solar emission. A pointing control was used to keep the device accurately pointed at the Sun. A spectrum of about 12 lines between 12 and 25 Å was recorded, made up mainly of lines from O VII, O VIII, N VII and Fe X VII. The O VII and N VII lines appeared to come from the entire solar disk. The Fe XVII lines originated almost entirely in a single plage region.
