Abstract

After describing the present situation with astronomy in the ultra-violet (UV), reviewing a few past and proposed future missions, we present options to develop space missions that have been realized for modest costs. In this context, we bring together a few aspects of different missions and projects that, when combined, might result in a low-cost mission for imaging or low-resolution spectroscopy in the UV.
