Abstract

The World Space Observatory Ultraviolet (WSO - UV) is an international mission, currently Russia and Spain are the main contributors to the project. The WSO-UV payload consists of a 1.7-m telescope and instrumentation: high resolution echellé spectrographs for far UV (115-175 nm) and near UV (174-310 nm) wavelength range, low resolution long slit UV spectrograph for 115-310 nm spectral diapason and UV imaging cameras also for far and near UV. For many astrophysical tasks of the mission Core program orbital UV observations should be expanded to the optical range of 300-1000 nm. In this paper we discuss spectroscopic and imaging instrumentations of Russian telescopes to be used as project ground support.
