Observations of the far-UV spectrum (1300–1800 å) of the sky background at different galactic latitudes are presented. The measurements were made in deep space, at distances up to 2 × 105 km from the Earth with the photoelectric spectrometer (“Galaktika”) on board the “Prognoz-6” satellite. The highly elongated orbit of the satellite permitted corrections for scattered Lα-light. The contribution of stars was eliminated using fluxes measured in the TD-I and OAO-2 experiments.
