“…The general information on the mission as well as updated information on the WSO-UV systems/subsystems can be found in the SPIE proceedings 1,2,3 . The key scientific drivers of the WSO-UV project are described in papers 4,5,6 and in some others. Observation time of the observatory will be divided between three areas: the Core program (approximately 50% of the total time during the first two years on orbit), National programs of participating countries (approximately 40% of the total observation time, in proportion to the financial contributions of countries to the project the first two years on orbit) and the Open program (open Program, implementation of applications of high scientific significance, including from scientists from countries not participating in the project).…”

The main instrument of the space mission "Spectr-UF" (World Space Observatory-Ultraviolet) is a large space telescope to work in the UV wavelength domain (115 -310 nm). The WSO-UV telescope feeds in its focal plane two main instruments: unit of spectrographs WUVS, and field camera unit FCU, as well as Fine Guidance System (FGS). The imaging instrument FCU onboard WSO-UV will be the first UV camera to be flown to a geosynchronous orbit. Here we provide a brief description on updated FCU instrument and its current status.

Comets are important "eyewitnesses" of Solar System formation and evolution. Important tests to determine the chemical composition and to study the physical processes in cometary nuclei and coma need data in the UV range of the electromagnetic spectrum. Comprehensive and complete studies require for additional ground-based observations and in-situ experiments. We briefly review observations of comets in the ultraviolet (UV) and discuss the prospects of UV observations of comets and exocomets with space-born instruments. A special refer is made to the World Space Observatory-Ultraviolet (WSO-UV) project.
