Scientific paper

A joint ESA/NASA program of IUE observations was initiated to provide accurate, absolutely calibrated spectrophotometric data for a set of selected stars covering a wide range of brightness to facilitate calibration of the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) and other future UV astronomy missions. The scope and progress of this program, particularly the status of the data base of faint (V = 14 to 15.5) white dwarf stars, which are crucial for the calibration of the most sensitive HST instruments, are summarized.
