Scientific paper

The Cosmic Origins Spectrograph (COS) is to be installed into the Hubble Space Telescope as part of Servicing Mission Four, scheduled for August 2008. COS is optimized for the study of the origins of large scale structure in the universe, the formation, and evolution of galaxies, the origin of stellar and planetary systems and the cold interstellar medium. In order to accomplish this, COS will achieve unequalled point source sensitivity in the FUV and NUV at moderate spectral resolution (λ/Δλ = 20,000). We present an overview of the instrument design, final preflight calibration, and estimated on-orbit performance.
