The Core Program Call of the WSO-UV mission

The World Space Observatory - Ultraviolet (WSO-UV) mission will be the only 2-m class UV telescope with capabilities similar to those of the HST for the decade after finishing HST mission because of the fact that no large UV-observatories are planned to be launched by most of space agencies in the coming 10 - 15 years. The large UVOIR observatories of the future will appear not earlier than in 2030s. The WSO-UV has been described in detail in many publications. Here we would like to present updated characteristics of its instrumentation as well as the current state of the project. The special attention is paid to the Core Program of the WSO-UV and tools for Core Program Application. We plan to announce a Call for the WSO-UV Core Program at the end of 2018.
