Abstract
Lyman, the Far Ultraviolet Explorer, is a space astrophysics mission designed to explore the spectra of celestial sources in the ultraviolet from 100 to 1250Å, the gap between the Hubble Space Telescope and the Advanced X-ray Astrophysics Facility. Lyman was recently selected by NASA as one of four missions to enter Phase A studies with a goal of launch in the mid-1990’s. It is envisioned as a community observatory in the tradition of the International Ultraviolet Explorer.
