Photometric data in the 1050–1180 Å and 1230–1350 Å wavelength ranges, and electronographic spectra in the 1000–1600 Å wavelength range, were obtained in an Aerobee rocket flight on January 30, 1969. The spectral intensities derived from these data for main-sequence stars are in good agreement with the model atmospheres of Morton and co-workers. Giant and supergiant stars, however, appear to be up to one magnitude weaker, at 1115 Å, than main-sequence stars of the same spectral class.

The correction for interstellar reddening appears to be not inconsistent with a 1/λ extrapolation of earlier determinations of Smith (1967) and Stecher (1965), except in the case of θ Ori, in which the predicted color excess appears to be much too great, confirming the existence of a peculiar reddening law in the Orion Nebula region.
