Abstract

The Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE) is a NASA funded astronomy mission which will operate in the 70–760Å spectral hand. The science payload has been designed and built by the Space Sciences Laboratory at the University of California, Berkeley and consists of three grazing incidence scanning telescopes and an EUV spectrometer/deep survey instrument.

We give an overview of the planned mission profile and briefly discuss the instrumentation which comprises the science payload. The EUVE is scheduled for launch in late August 1991.
