Description:
Astronomical facilities to observe from space in the ultraviolet are reviewed. For the immediate future, IUE and the extreme ultraviolet spectrometers of Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 are available for furthering knowledge of cataclysmic variables. The Hubble Space telescope is scheduled for launch in 1986 and will be available to guest observers. The Far Ultraviolet Spectroscopic Explorer, which is expected to provide the capability to observe in the far and extreme ultraviolet, is planned for launch in the 1990s.
