title = "ULTRASAT: NASA's role in mission development and science",
abstract = "ULTRASAT is a near-ultraviolet imaging satellite with a wide field of view (200 square degrees) and a planned launch in late 2027. It is an international partnership led by Israel (Israel Space Agency and Weizmann Institute of Science) in partnership with the United States (NASA) and Germany (DESY). ULTRASAT will provide high cadence observations and rapid target-of-opportunity response, providing a powerful capability for time-domain and multimessenger astrophysics (TDAMM), and will have scientific applications from solar system studies to cosmology. This proceedings paper includes the content of a poster presented at the 2024 SPIE Astronomical Telescopes and Instruments meeting, describing briefly the ULTRASAT science drivers and capabilities; NASA's roles in the ULTRASAT project; and how ULTRASAT fits with NASA scientific priorities. It also includes an expanded summary of the United States Participating Scientist Program for ULTRASAT.",
