Abstract The diffuse celestial light at 1-5 microns was observed over a large portion of the sky including the Galactic pole with a rocket-born infrared telescope cooled by solid nitrogen. After subtracting the foreground components, there still remains an appreciable amount of isotropic diffuse radiation with complex spectral feature. A part of this isotropic radiation may be contaminated by the environmental emission due to rocket engine exhaust; however, the 2.2 micron data is free from contamination and possibly attributed to an extragalactic origin.
