When the Cassini spacecraft arrives as Saturn early in the next century it will carry an Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph (UVIS) designed and built by the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) at the University of Colorado. Observations made with the UVIS will support a broad set of scientific investigations including spectroscopy, imaging, and occultations. The UVIS consists of two spectroscopic channels covering the wavelength ranges 56 to 118 and 110 to 190 nm. Each channel has an off-axis parabolic telescope followed by a toroidal grating spectrograph and an imaging microchannel plate- CODACON detector. Mirror coatings and detector photocathode materials optimize the sensitivity of each channel for its particular wavelength range. Spectrograph entrance slit mechanisms provide three independent spectral and spatial resolution modes for each of the three channels.
