TAUVEX is a three-telescope array intended to image wide sky areas in the UV. It is being constructed in Israel for flying on-board the Spectrum X-γ (SRG) international high-energy observatory. SRG will be orbited by Russia in early 1996 for a three-year+ mission. TAUVEX will operate in parallel with X-ray imaging telescopes on board SRG to provide time-resolved photometry and deep UV imaging.
