the evolutionary interdependence of galaxies and the intergalactic environment, the physics of hot stellar atmospheres, and the physics and chemistry of planetary atmospheres. "One should particularly emphasize the observatory's role in detecting the so-called dark matter of the Universe and unlocking its secrets because such dark matter can only be seen by large ultraviolet telescopes," said Shustov.It should be noted in this connection that the Soviet Union had planned to implement a series of Spektr astrophysical projects in the 1990s. The Spektr-R (Radioastron) satellite was to have conducted radio-wave observations; the Spektr-RG was designed for X-Ray and gamma ray observations; and the Spektr-UF ultraviolet observatory was scheduled to lift off in 1997. Had this program been implemented, Russian science would have outpaced other countries in the field of extra-atmospheric research. Unfortunately, the Spektr-UF project was stalled because of the new Russian
