Next talk by John Hutchings! 3 4 ASTRON (1983 – 1989)

ASTRON is an UV space observatory with 80 cm aperture telescope equipped with a scanning spectrometer:(λλ 110-350 nm, λ ~ 2 nm) onboard. Some significant results: detection of OH

(H2O) in Halley comet, UV of SN1987a, Pb lines in stellar spectra etc. (Photo of flight model at Museum).5 “” (Спектр) missions

Federal Space Program (2016-2025) includes as major astrophysical projects:

Spektr-R (Radioastron) – launched in 2011.

Spektr-RG – scheduled for launch in 2018.

Spektr-UF International name is World Space Observatory - UltraViolet (WSO-UV). Launch is scheduled for 2023. 6 WSO-UV Project

WSO-UV is an international space observatory for observation in UV spectral range (115 - 350 nm). The WSO-UV includes the telescope with primary mirror of 170 cm and scientific instruments – imaging A.Boyarchuk field cameras and 3 W.Wamsteker spectrographs (resolving power ranges from 1000 to 55000).

WSO-UV is still the only 2-m class UV telescope planned to be work in space during the decade after 2024.

All the mechanical and thermo-vacuum tests have been passed successfully. 17 Life is not easy: example of glue DP-190

The DP-190 glue is known as the best one for attachment of astrositall (zerodur) lightweight large- size space astronomical mirrors (2 m class) with elements of their frames of invar. Problem is to properly distribute the glue. 18 Coatings of T-170M mirrors

Al+MgF2 coating deposition onto primary mirror in “Luch” Company (in Denton vacuum camera). Optical quality fits requirements.
