2. Colorado Ultraviolet Transit Experiment - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Colorado_Ultraviolet...

   Colorado Ultraviolet Transit Experiment (CUTE) is a small UV space telescope to study selected exoplanets. [1] It was launched as a rideshare on the Atlas V that launched Landsat 9 on September 27, 2021. [1] Designed to operate for at least 8 months and study 10 exoplanets, CUTE remains operational as of December 2023, 27 months after launch.

3. GALEX - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GALEX

   GALEX used the first ever UV light dichroic beam-splitter flown in space to direct photons to the Near UV (175–280 nanometers) and Far UV (135–174 nanometers) microchannel plate detectors. Each of the two detectors has a 65 mm (2.6 in) diameter. The target orbit is 670 km (420 mi) circular and inclined at 29.00° to the equator.

   UV observations can also provide essential information about the evolution of galaxies. They can be used to discern the presence of a hot white dwarf or main sequence companion in orbit around a cooler star. [3] [4] The ultraviolet universe looks quite different from the familiar stars and galaxies seen in visible light.

   Alice installed on New Horizons spacecraft. In August 2018, NASA confirmed, based on results by Alice on the New Horizons spacecraft, the detection of a "hydrogen wall" at the outer edges of the Solar System that was first detected in 1992 by the two Voyager spacecraft which have detected a surplus of ultraviolet light determined to be coming from hydrogen.

7. Hopkins Ultraviolet Telescope - Wikipedia

   The Hopkins Ultraviolet Telescope (HUT) was a space telescope designed to make spectroscopic observations in the far-ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum.It was flown into orbit on the Space Shuttle and operated from the Shuttle's payload bay on two occasions: in December 1990, as part of Shuttle mission STS-35, and in March 1995, as part of mission STS-67.
