title = "All spherical optical design of an Ultraviolet Cosmic Imager",
abstract = "We propose to place a wide-field ultraviolet (UV) imager (Lunar Ultraviolet Cosmic Imager-LUCI) on the Moon to observe in the near-UV wavelength band (200 to 300 nm). LUCI is a Cassegrain telescope with a field of view of half a degree and a total weight of less than two kg. The science goals include observations of variable stars, transients (supernovae, novae, etc.) and possible detection of near-Earth asteroids. LUCI will fly as a payload on the Team INDUS entry to the Google Lunar XPRIZE (GLXP) challenge to launch and land a robotic spacecraft on the Moon. Here we will discuss about the all spherical optical design, in order to realize the proposed UV imager in a very cost effective and easier way.",
