![]() Title:Status of the Spektr–UF Project Conference:APRIM2026 Tags:space observatory, Spektr-UF and ultraviolet observatory Abstract: A general description is given of the project Spektr–UF (former name World Space Observatory–Ultraviolet, WSO–UV). The Project Spektr–UF aimed at creating a large space observatory for operation in the UV spectral domain (115–320 nm). The Spektr–UF observatory includes a 170 cm aperture telescope capable of high-resolution spectroscopy and long slit low-resolution spectroscopy as well as high resolution imaging. The project is underway for quite a long time. Because of several factors (sanctions and withdrawal of foreign partners) the launch of the observatory has been postponed to 2031. The Russian team of the project was forced to redesign some of the observatory's instruments (most relevant is the Field Camera Unit) and replace many of the electronic ITAR components. The project is funded by the Roscosmos State Corporation as a part of the federal project Space Science. Main goal of this report is to describe the current status of the project focusing on some new touches. | ||||
