The University College London ultraviolet balloon payload comprises a three-axis star-pointing platform, carrying a 310-mm UV telescope coupled to an echelle spectrograph and an image tube detector system. The instrument covers the whole balloon UV range (2000-3200 A) at high resolution (about 7 km/s). In the present configuration it can be used to observe stars brighter than V = 7.5, and in the near future it will be upgraded to access fainter objects (V less than 9). The first engineering flight of the balloon platform took place on May 21, 1980 from Palestine, Texas.
