Abstract
The mission of the Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE) will be to perform an all-sky survey and produce a map of the sky in different EUV wavelength bands in the range of 70 to 900 A. Subsequent to the survey phase, pointed observations will be used for spectroscopic investigations of selected objects. The complement of scientific instruments consists of four telescopes, which are being produced by the University of California, Berkeley. The telescope optics use Wolter-Schwarzschild grazing incidence mirrors in order to achieve high throughput in the EUV, as well as good off-axis imaging.
