THE space astrophysical observatory Orion, installed in the orbital station Salyut, has provided several slitless spectrograms of Lyra and Cen between wavelengths 2000 and 3800 Å. The spectrograms were obtained in June 1971 with the help of a mirror telescope of the Mersenn system and a spectrograph of the Wadsworth system using film sensitive in the far ultraviolet. The dispersion of the spectrograph is 32 Å/mm, while the resolution of the spectrograms derived is about 5 Å on 2600 Å. A detailed description of the Orion apparatus and the method of obtaining the spectrograms have been given elsewhere¹⁻³.
