A measurement of the solar X-ray spectrum in the 1–30 KeV interval was made by rocket-borne instruments at 0015 UT on April 5, 1967. These measurements show that the solar X-ray spectrum, which falls off steeply with energy below 4 KeV, becomes less steep above this energy. These data are taken to indicate that energetic, non-thermal, electrons are present or continuously produced in quiescent solar active regions. No optical flare activity was reported for several hours around the time of these observations.
