Abstract: The World Space Observatory for Ultraviolet (WSO--UV) is a space observatory equipped with instrumentation for spectroscopy and for imaging in the UV spectral range. After the Hubble Space Telescope, WSO--UV will be the largest mirror telescope for UV astronomy. Thus, the WSO-UV space observatory will guarantee continuity of UV observation of comets and exoplanets.
