Observations of SMC X-1 from an Aerobee rocket and an Apollo spacecraft have detected X-ray pulsations with a period of 0.716 s. The pulsed fraction in the 1.6-10-keV energy range is 25-35 percent. Evidence for significant pulse-shape and pulsed-fraction changes in the 0.6-1.6-keV range is also presented. The spectrum during both observations is fitted by a photon power law with a spectral index of -0.8 and normalization of 0.040.
