The Lyman spaceborne astronomy mission to exploit the 900 to 1200 A region is introduced. The prime mission is the determination of the primordial deuterium abundance. This results in a requirement for a system of high sensitivity and spectral resolution. To complement this prime mission, it is proposed to include subsidiary spectrographs to cover higher UV (1200 to 2000 A) and lower EUV (100 to 350 A) wavelength ranges, but these will be accommodated within the overall constraints imposed by the prime mission. The nature of the 900 to 1200 A range is such that its exploitation will extend to most areas of astronomy, from detailed observations or solar system objects, the interstellar medium, stars and galaxies to studies of cosmological significance.
