NASA's Extreme Ultraviolet Explorer (EUVE) will carry out an all-sky survey from 80 to 800A in four bandpasses. It is expected that many types of sources will be detected, including white dwarfs and late type stars. A deep survey will also be carried out along the ecliptic which will have a limiting sensitivity a factor of 10 better than the all-sky survey in the bandpass from 80 to 300A. The payload includes a spectrometer to observe the brigher sources found in the surveys with a spectral resolution of 1 to 2A.
