摘要：

The Ultraviolet Imaging Telescope (UIT) was flown as part of the. Astro-1 Spacelab mission on the Space Shuttle Columbia in 1990 December. The ultraviolet images of a wide variety of astronomical objects were recorded with a 40' diameter field of view. Images of targets as faint as magnitude 21 (ultraviolet) were secured with a resolution of about 3". This Letter describes the design, flight operations, data reduction, and overall technical performance of the UIT.
