Scientific paper

The advantages of Earth orbiting observatories are outlined, taking investigation of the Jupiter-Io system as an example. The instrument requirements of such observatories are considered. Their wavelength range should be from 300 to 3000A with spectral resolution of a few hundredth A, and spatial resolution on the order of 1 arcsec. Their field of view and spatial resolution make simultaneous mapping of any extended system possible in a reasonable time for monochromatic emission lines and thus allow temporal survey. The spectral wavelength range and spectral resolution give access to the atomic (neutral and ionized) composition and thermodynamics.
