Abstract

We report on the status of CETUS, an all-UV, Probe-class mission concept to be evaluated by the Astro2020 Steering Panel. This report expands and updates the scientific uses of CETUS and CETUS technology as described earlier by Kendrick et al. (2019). The major updates derive form technological advances that promise to make CETUS a scientifically more powerful and long-lived space observatory than originally proposed. A long, useful lifetime will be needed to fulfill the future needs of the astronomical and planetary-science community.
