The gigahertz peaked spectrum (GPS) and compact steep spectrum radiosource PKS 1127-145 is a young radio-galaxy with a 300 kpc jet wasimaged by Chandra. Chandra obsevations of the source revealed abright flat ~1.2 power-law spectrum which if extrapolatedto the IBIS/ISGRI energy range would allow a significant detection ofthe source.In this proposal we aim to detect the source spectrum above 10 keV. Thedetection of the source spectrum or even a simple detection could inprinciple discriminate among different scenarios for the production ofhigh-energy emission which in turn may have some bearing on theevolution of these objects. The source lies in an unexplored region of the INTEGRAL If accepted other extragalactic targets in the region would benefitas well from the increase in the exposure in this under-exposed regionof the sky.
