Abstract The Spacelab missions provided a good opportunity for a first general UV survey of astrophysical objects. The UV observations carried out on Spacelab 1 yielded some new results, but revealed at the same time observing and operation constraints which must be considered for planning and preparing for future Spacelab experiments. Experience gained with two astronomical experiments, the UV Very Wide Field Camera (VWFC, 1ES022) /1/ nd FAUST Far Ultraviolet Telescope (1NS-005) /2/ are discussed.
