Abstract

The advantages of an astrophysical UV telescope on the moon surface and a number of scientific tasks are discussed. An approach to build an astronomical 20-30 cm UV telescope at the future international lunar research station is presented. It is suggested to use a slewing mirror to repoint the moon-based telescope and to switch between filters and detectors. The first small telescope at the ILRS can be considered as a step towards the development of technologies for moon-based astronomical observations.
