      abstract     = {The Ultraviolet Transient Astronomy Satellite (ULTRASAT) is
                      scheduled to be launched to geostationary orbit in 2026. It
                      will carry a telescope with an unprecedentedly large field
                      of view (204 deg$^2$) and NUV (230-290nm) sensitivity (22.5
                      mag, 5$\sigma$, at 900s). ULTRASAT will conduct the first
                      wide-field survey of transient and variable NUV sources and
                      will revolutionize our ability to study the hot transient
                      universe: It will explore a new parameter space in energy
                      and time-scale (months long light-curves with minutes
                      cadence), with an extra-Galactic volume accessible for the
                      discovery of transient sources that is $>$300 times larger
                      than that of GALEX and comparable to that of LSST. ULTRASAT
                      data will be transmitted to the ground in real-time, and
                      transient alerts will be distributed to the community in
                      $<$15 min, enabling a vigorous ground-based follow-up of
                      ULTRASAT sources. ULTRASAT will also provide an all-sky NUV
                      image to $>$23.5 AB mag, over 10 times deeper than the GALEX
                      map. Two key science goals of ULTRASAT are the study of
                      mergers of binaries involving neutron stars, and supernovae:
                      With a large fraction ($>$50\%) of the sky instantaneously
                      accessible, fast (minutes) slewing capability and a
                      field-of-view that covers the error ellipses expected from
                      GW detectors beyond 2025, ULTRASAT will rapidly detect the
                      electromagnetic emission following BNS/NS-BH mergers
                      identified by GW detectors, and will provide continuous NUV
                      light-curves of the events; ULTRASAT will provide early
                      (hour) detection and continuous high (minutes) cadence NUV
                      light curves for hundreds of core-collapse supernovae,
                      including for rarer supernova progenitor types.},
