Abstract

The Lunar Ultraviolet Observatory (OUL) is a small instrument designed to map the Earth exosphere, the magnetosphere and the near-Earth space while orbiting the Moon. It can operate either as a flight-alone cubesat mission or as an instrument. The observatory is a small space telescope to be set in Lunar orbit to produce wide field images (10x10 deg²) in narrow and broad bands in the 115-175 nm spectral range. In this presentation, we will describe the results of the on-going tests of critical optical elements.
