On demand | Presented live 17 June 2024
Abstract
The space mission "Spektr-UF" (Spectrum Ultraviolet, another name is World Space Observatory-Ultraviolet) is aimed to create a large space telescope to work in the UV wavelength domain (115 - 310 nm). In the Federal Space Program of Russia the launch of the project is scheduled for 2029. The observatory includes a 170 cm aperture telescope capable of high-resolution spectroscopy and long slit low-resolution spectroscopy with the WUVS (WSO-UV Spectrographs) instrument. Moreover UV imaging will be available with the Field Camera Unit (FCU) instrument. Here we provide a brief description on updated FCU instrument and its current status.
