Scientific paper

The World Space Observatory - Ultraviolet (WSO-UV) is a large space project for operation in unreachable in ground-based observatories ultraviolet (UV) spectral range. The main instrument of the observatory is space telescope with 1.7 m diameter of the primary mirror. The telescope will be equipped by high and low resolution spectrographs and imagers for UV and optical domain. Such a set of instruments allows us to solve a wide range of scientific tasks. The main research areas that suggested by Russian astronomical community to be included into the Core and National programs are: a) physics of early Universe; b) star formation and galactic chemical evolution; c) accretion processes in astrophysics; d) interstellar matter; e) stellar atmosphere physics, mass loss, chromospheric activity; f)physics and chemical composition of planetary atmospheres and comets. By its capabilities the WSO-UV project is close to Hubble Space Telescope (HST) with some characteristics that are even higher. The project was included in the Federal Space Program of Russia for the period 2006 - 2015 (under the name "Spektr-UF") with the launch date in 2011.
