What to know

  • UVEX will launch in 2031 to conduct the first dedicated all-sky survey in ultraviolet wavelengths, revealing transient phenomena like stellar flares and supernovae invisible in visible light.
  • The mission fills a gap in multi-wavelength astronomy by complementing surveys from Roman, Vera Rubin Observatory, and ESA's Euclid, each observing different wavelength ranges.
  • UVEX's two-year baseline mission will observe 50–100 times deeper than GALEX, the previous UV survey satellite, enabling detection of fainter and more distant UV sources.

    UVEX will fill gap in ultraviolet observations within broader survey ecosystem

    UVEX will complement existing and planned surveys including the Nancy Grace Roman Space Telescope, Vera Rubin Observatory, and ESA's Euclid Space Telescope, building a multi-wavelength picture of the universe. The mission's two-year baseline will conduct surveys 50/100 times deeper than GALEX in near/far-ultraviolet.

    “UVEX is a bold leap forward in our exploration of the ultraviolet universe.”
    — Ray Jayawardhana
