When the Cassini spacecraft arrives at Saturn early in the next century it will carry an Ultraviolet Imaging Spectrograph (UVIS). Observations made with the UVIS will support a broad set of scientific investigations including spectroscopy, imaging, and occultations. The UVIS consists of three spectroscopic channels covering the wavelength ranges 55-115 nm, 115-190 nm, and 160-320 nm. Each channel has an off-axis parabolic telescope followed by a toroidal grating spectrograph and an imaging microchannel plate-CODACON detector. The UVIS configuration was selected as a balanced solution to a large number of engineering and scientific constraints. We describe these constraints, the optical design, and the anticipated performance of the instrument.
