Abstract
This paper gives a general review of the best ways to adapt the UV optical designs to the peculiar conditions of guidance of space vehicles.(1)Conditions to obtain useful photometric direct images of the sky (stars and nebulae) with several different receptors (photographs, image tube, TV camera etc., …). New solutions of imagery are considered.(2)Selection of the different bandwidths of wavelengths (filters; gratings).An example of a new optical design, the BPM filter especially adapted to the poor conditions of guidance, is described. (Wave length selection is independent of the guidance.)The last part of this article is devoted to a review of the dispersive optical designs adapted to space research.Conclusions are in favour of the average size space vehicles on rockets for the time being and for large telescopes in the space platforms even if their guidance is several times worse than their optical quality.
