This is the first in a collection of three papers introducing the sciencewith an ultra-violet (UV) space telescope on an approximately 130~kg smallsatellite with a moderately fast re-pointing capability and a real-time alertcommunication system approved for a Czech national space mission. The mission,called Quick Ultra-Violet Kilonova surveyor - QUVIK, will provide key follow-upcapabilities to increase the discovery potential of gravitational waveobservatories and future wide-field multi-wavelength surveys. The primaryobjective of the mission is the measurement of the UV brightness evolution ofkilonovae, resulting from mergers of neutron stars, to distinguish betweendifferent explosion scenarios. The mission, which is designed to becomplementary to the Ultraviolet Transient Astronomy Satellite - ULTRASAT, willalso provide unique follow-up capabilities for other transients both in thenear- and far-UV bands. Between the observations of transients, the satellitewill target other objects described in this collection of papers, whichdemonstrates that a small and relatively affordable dedicated UV-spacetelescope can be transformative for many fields of astrophysics.
