The Life-environmentology, Astronomy, and PlanetarY Ultraviolet Telescope Assembly (LAPYUTA) mission aims to carry out spectroscopy with a large effective area (>300 cm2) and a high spatial resolution (0.1 arc-sec) and imaging in far ultraviolet spectral range (110-190 nm) from a space telescope. The main part of the science payload is a Cassegrain-type telescope with a 60 cm-diameter primary mirror. Two main UV instruments are installed on the focal plane of the telescope: a spectrograph and a slit imager. As a baseline design, the spectrograph contains a movable slit with different slit width, a holographic toroidal grating with 2000 lines/mm, and an MCP detector coupled with CMOS imaging sensors. Spectral resolution of 0.02 nm and field-of-view of 100 arc-sec will be achieved. The UV slit imager consists of imaging optics, several bandpass filters with a rotation wheel, and a same type of UV detector as the one installed in the spectrometer. In order to achieve a high spatial resolution of 0.1 arc-sec, we will install a target monitoring camera at 0^th order position inside the spectrometer and slit imager for both attitude control and image accumulation process. In addition, new technologies such as funnel-type MCPs and CMOS-coupled readout system will be applied to satisfy requirements of LAPYUTA. Here we present the LAPYUTA concept design, the overview of the spacecraft and instruments, and the status of technical developments.
