In this report, the authors present a low-mass (<2 kg), low-power (approximately 2 W), and low-cost (< $0.5M) Far UV spectrometer design, capable of performing high-resolution ({lambda}/{delta}{lambda} approximately equal to 100-200) spectroscopy of planetary atmospheres in the extreme ultraviolet wavelength regime (700 {angstrom} < {lambda} < 1500 {angstrom}). This spectrograph, referred to in this report as the MicroUVS, is in part based on the integrated UV/VIS/IR Pluto Fast Flyby (PFF) design being developed for NASA, but is tailored to be a stand-alone instrument suitable for future BMDO/LLNL missions. Design objectives and performance of the spectrometer are discussed in detail.
