The Spacelab Ultraviolet-Optical Telescope Facility is a one-meter aperture, f/15 system providing a 0.5 degree near-diffraction-limited data field. This facility is designed to be accommodated on two of the Shuttle/Spacelab pallets and is to be reused for a variety of astronomical measurements over a ten-year period. Several focal plane instruments can be accommodated in a single flight. The conventional cassegrain focus can be used as well as a folded radial focal plane. The facility will be pointed out of the Shuttle bay by the Instrument Pointing Subsystem and the principal focal plane instruments will have dedicated star trackers to provide highly stable images by means of image-motion compensation. An acquisition camera is available to verify the target field and will be displayed to the Spacelab payload specialist to facilitate interactive observing.
