Scientific paper
The development of space-based instruments for spectroscopic observations beyond the H I Lyman alpha continuum at 1175 A is discussed. Consideration is given to instruments which are currently in use, together with instruments under development or in production. Among the current instruments described are the Copernicus (OAO-3) platform and the IUE spacecraft. Instruments under development or in production include the High-Resolution Spectrograph (HRS), the Faint Object Spectrograph (FOS) and the Faint Object Camera (FOC) on board the Space Telescope, and the Far Ultraviolet Spectrograph Explorer (FUSE). Consideration is also given to the spectroscopic capabilities of the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE) and the Hopkins Ultraviolet Telescope (HUT), which will be a facility on the Astro 2 spacecraft and future Spacelab missions. The anticipated operational dates, spectral ranges, and resolutions of the instruments are given in a table.
