UVSTAR (Ultraviolet Spectrograph Telescope for Astronomical Research) is an EUV spectral imager intended as a facility instrument devoted to solar system and stellar astronomy. It covers the wavelength range of 500 to 12500 angstroms with sufficient spectral resolution to separate atomic emission lines and to form spectrally resolved images of extended plasma sources. Targets include the lo plasma torus at Jupiter, hot stars, and planetary nebulae. UVSTAR will make useful measurements of emissions from Earth's atmosphere as well. UVSTAR consists of a pair of telescopes and concave- grating spectrographs that cover the overlapping spectral ranges of 500 to 900 and 850 to 1250 angstroms. The telescopes use two 30-cm-diam off-axis paraboloids having a focal length of 1.4 m.
