“…According to the WUVS current design all spectrographs will be equipped with CCD detectors instead of the previously proposed MCPs (Micro Channel Plate; Kappelmann et al 2006). Because of this technical change, the WUVS exposure time calculator is not yet available.…”

The success of the International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE) first and then of the STIS and COS spectrographs on-board the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) demonstrate the impact that observations at UV wavelengths had and are having on modern astronomy. Several discoveries in the exoplanet field have been done at UV wavelengths. Nevertheless, the amount of data collected in this band is still limited both in terms of observed targets and time spent on each of them. For the next decade, the post-HST era, the only large (2-m class) space telescope capable of UV observations will be the World Space Observatory-UltraViolet (WSO-UV). In its characteristics, the WSO-UV mission is similar to that of HST, but all observing time will be dedicated to UV astronomy. In this work, we briefly outline the major prospects of the WSO-UV mission in terms of exoplanet studies. To the limits of the data and tools currently available, here we also compare the quality of key exoplanet data obtained in the far-UV and near-UV with HST (STIS and COS) to that expected to obtain with WSO-UV.

“…This detector is developed by the Institute of Astronomy and Astrophysics of the University of Tübingen, Germany (Kappelmann et al 2006). The development has the heritage of two successful ORFEUS-SPAS "free-flyer" missions (Diebold et al 2012) and will be space-qualified onboard the next German TET-satellite (technology test-bed satellite).…”

Space astronomy in the last 40 years has largely been done from spacecraft in low Earth orbit (LEO) for which the technology is proven and delivery mechanisms are readily available. However, new opportunities are arising with the surge in commercial aerospace missions. We describe here one such possibility: deploying a small instrument on the Moon. This can be accomplished by flying onboard the Indian entry to the Google Lunar X PRIZE competition, Team Indus mission, which is expected to deliver a nearly 30 kgs of payloads to the Moon, with a rover as its primary payload. We propose to mount a wide-field far-UV (130--180 nm) imaging telescope as a payload on the Team Indus lander. Our baseline operation is a fixed zenith pointing but with the option of a mechanism to allow observations of different attitudes. Pointing towards intermediate ecliptic latitude (50 deg or above) ensures that the Sun is at least 40 deg off the line of sight at all times. In this position, the telescope can cover higher galactic latitudes as well as parts of Galactic plane. The scientific objectives of such a prospective are delineated and discussed.Comment: 28 pages, 8 figure

“…The first design of high-resolution spectrographs is described in [9] and was based on the heritage of ORFEUS mission having flown aboard the Space Shuttle in 1993 and 1996. The spectra separated by a cross disperser were focused on a MCP detector.…”

Dedicated to spectroscopic and imaging observations of the ultraviolet sky, the World Space Observatory -Ultraviolet mission is a Russian-Spanish collaboration. The project consists of a 1.7m telescope with instrumentation able to perform: a) high resolution (R ≥50 000) spectroscopy by means of two echellé spectrographs covering the 115-310 nm spectral range; b) long slit (1x75 arcsec) low resolution (R ∼ 1000) spectroscopy with a near-UV channel and a far-UV channel to cover the 115-305 nm spectral range; c) near-UV and a far-UV imaging channels covering the 115-320 nm wavelength range; d) slitless spectroscopy with spectral resolution of about 500 in the full 115-320 nm spectral range.Here we present the WSO-UV focal plane instruments, their status of implementation, and the expected performances.
