      abstract     = {The Ultraviolet Transient Astronomy Satellite (ULTRASAT) is
                      a space-borne near UV telescope with an unprecedented large
                      field of view (200 sq. deg.). The mission, led by the
                      Weizmann Institute of Science and the Israel Space Agency in
                      collaboration with DESY (Helmholtz association, Germany) and
                      NASA (USA), is fully funded and expected to be launched to a
                      geostationary transfer orbit in Q2/3 of 2025. With a grasp
                      300 times larger than GALEX, the most sensitive UV satellite
                      to date, ULTRASAT will revolutionize our understanding of
                      the hot transient universe, as well as of flaring galactic
                      sources. We describe the mission payload, the optical design
                      and the choice of materials allowing us to achieve a point
                      spread function of ~10arcsec across the FoV, and the
                      detector assembly. We detail the mitigation techniques
                      implemented to suppress out-of-band flux and reduce stray
                      light, detector properties including measured quantum
                      efficiency of scout (prototype) detectors, and expected
                      performance (limiting magnitude) for various objects.},
