Ultraviolet observations of Be stars /Review paper/In the last decade twelve major space experiments have observed Be stars in the UV region of the spectrum. The characteristics of the experiments are listed in a table. The studies were conducted with the aid of two rockets, five astronomical satellites, three manned satellites, and one planetary probe. Another table shows the name and the spectral type of the bright Be stars observed in the UV. Approaches concerning a system for ultraviolet spectral classification are discussed. Attention is also given to aspects of mass loss, the effects of rapid rotation, and the properties of the shell.
