The main characteristics of the ultraviolet spectrometers on board the Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft and the astrophysical experiments being currently conducted are reviewed. The spectrometers are sensitive over the wavelength range of 50 to 170 nm, which is observable only from space. The experiments include a program of stellar and nonstellar observations, monitoring of the ultraviolet flux from the sun, and studies of the interstellar wind entering the solar system. Several specific observations of particular interest are discussed.
