Abstract Results are presented of a survey of the galactic plane between 1" = 0 and 1" = 145 . The detector was sensitive to X-rays with energy from 0.2 to 18 keV and had an effective area of 640 cm2. Source locations within 0.02 deg2 and spectral parameters have been derived for Cyg 1, Cyg 2, the Cygnus Loop, Ser 1, and the supernova remnant Cas A. Spectral parameters have also been derived for OX 5-i, OX 9+1, OX 13+1, and OX 17+2; however, these sources were located in only one dimension. Some spectral information and locations in one dimension have been obtained for Tycho's supernova remnant, Cyg 3, and seven other sources. Our positions and those measured by the Uhuru satellite are in good agreement. The Cygnus Loop was observed during two nearly perpendicular scans. The data show that the X-ray and radio objects have almost the same spatial extent but different intensity distributions. The northern part of the radio source, the region containing the brightest optical filaments, emits most of the X-ray flux.
