 **"ULTRASAT: Revolutionizing our understanding of the hot transient Universe"** ULTRASAT is a scientific satellite that is planned to be launched to a geostationary orbit in 2027. It will carry a telescope with an unprecedentedly large field of view (200 squared degrees) and UV (230-290nm) sensitivity. These unique properties will enable us to detect and systematically study transient astronomical events within an extra-galactic volume hundreds of times larger than that accessible to current observatories. ULTRASAT’s measurements will have a broad science impact across the fields of gravitational wave sources, supernovae, variable and flare stars, active galactic nuclei, tidal disruption events, compact objects, and galaxies. I will review ULTRASAT’s key science goals, unique technical properties, and the project’s structure and status.
