Ultraviolet astronomy is in a phase of very rapid development and any review of the new techniques involved is necessarily conditioned by the fact that most of the work is in a preparatory stage. This paper, therefore, will not be restricted to a discussion of those techniques which have undergone the ultimate test of their effectiveness, i.e., an actual space mission, but will include a consideration of those techniques which are still under development. Some omissions are therefore inevitable.

The presentation is divided into three categories: (a) the vehicle and its stabilisation (if any), (b) the optics, and (c) detectors. Category (a) presents the major new technological problems and contributes the greater part of the total cost. Experience in the other categories of optics and detectors had, of course, reached an advanced and sophisticated level at the time of the advent of the rocket, but new and difficult problems have been posed mainly by their operation in a space environment, but also by their use in the ultraviolet region of the spectrum.
