Scientific paper

This paper reviews the past, present, and future of the space explorers for ultraviolet astronomy. Ultraviolet astronomy explorers launched and planned are described. The observing wavelengths of modern ultraviolet astronomy are in the range of 3100 Å - 100 Å. Telescopes for ultraviolet observation are required to be put higher than 150 km well above the ozone and oxygen layers. The devoted ultraviolet space explorers launched in the 1990s are Astro-1, Astro-2, IUE, and EUVE. In addition, there are ultraviolet telescopes onboard the HST and TRACE satellites as well. Ultraviolet observations in space have been made in the whole spectrum of ultraviolet astronomy. The FUSE satellite is part of NASA's "Origins Program". It is aimed at the exploration of one of the fundamental parameters, the abundances of light elements in the formation and evolution of the universe through the studies of deuterium, or "heavy hydrogen", which was created solely in the Big Bang.
