Scientific paper

The TAUVEX (Tel Aviv University UV Explorer) payload will be launched in 1995 onboard the spectrum X-gamma spacecraft, as part of the SODART (Soviet-Danish X-ray Telescope) high energy experiment. It consists of three 20 cm diameter coaligned telescopes imaging the same 0 deg .9 diameter sky area onto photon counting detectors in the 1400 to 2800 A band. The expected lifetime of the platform of at least three years will permit coverage of approximately 8% of the sky with a sensitivity of approximately 21 mag for point sources. The entire design of the payload depends strongly on the availability of imaging photon counting detectors in the desired spectral range.
