We present measurements of the inclusive production cross sections of the {upsilon}(1S) bottomonium state in pp collisions at {radical}(s)=1.96 TeV. Using the {upsilon}(1S){yields}{mu}{sup +}{mu}{sup -} decay mode for a data sample of 159{+-}10 pb{sup -1} collected by the D0 detector at the Fermilab Tevatron collider, we determine the differential cross sections as a function of the {upsilon}(1S) transverse momentum for three ranges of the {upsilon}(1S) rapidity: 0< vertical bar y{sup {upsilon}} vertical bar {<=}0.6, 0.6< vertical bar y{sup {upsilon}} vertical bar {<=}1.2, and 1.2< vertical bar y{sup {upsilon}} vertical bar {<=}1.8.
