Three spectra of Jupiter were recorded by TD1A satellite between 1350 and 2600 Å. From these data, the geometrical albedo of the planet was computed.

From 2600 to 2100 Å, the value of the albedo matches the simple diffusing models of Jupiter's atmosphere (Greenspan and Owen, 1967).

From 2100 to 1800 Å, a broad absorption can be assigned to NH3 molecule (2168 Å transition).

Another absorption commences below 1800 Å. The absorbing molecule involved will be determined at a later date.
