A new astronomy mission to study stellar spectra in the 912-1200 A band is being seriously studied in both Europe and the USA. It is conceived as a follow-on to IUE, to extend astronomical observations into a new spectral region containing a wealth of atomic transitions useful as probes of astrophysical objects. The observatory is to be for the use of guest investigators and will make high spectral resolution observations of stars fainter than IUE could reach. It is seen as an observatory which would complement the tremendous power of the Space Telescope by operating in the bandpass just below the wavelengths where ST ceases to operate efficiently.
