AbstractThe Space Telescope Observatory, scheduled for launch in 1985, is described. The advantages of the space environment and the consequent features of ST performance are given, with Uranus observations as examples. The first generation instruments, including two cameras, two spectrographs and a high speed photometer, are discussed. The Space Telescope Science Institute, which will manage the Observatory, is discussed briefly. The potential scientific interaction with the Voyager 2 encounter of Uranus is also considered.

The Guide Star Selection System (GSSS) will provide relative positions of two guide stars and the target for each observation of the Space Telescope as well as photometry for the guide stars. Being developed at the Space Telescope Science Institute, the GSSS is a production system which is based on PDS measurements of Schmidt survey plates. The specified accuracy for the system is +/−0.33 arcsec for the separation of the guide stars and 0.4 mag in the bandpass of the Space Telescope's Fine Guidance Sensors. The GSSS will produce two catalogs which will be used in the operation of the system. The Guide Star Photometry catalog includes photoelectric measurements (+/−0.05 mag) in B and V for six stars over the guide star range, 9.0 to 14.5 visual magnitude, near the central part of each 6 by 6 deg survey plate. The Guide Star Catalog will include the list of all possible guide stars and brighter, positions (at least +/−1 arcsec) and magnitudes (at least +/−0.4 mag) for essentially the whole sky complete to visual magnitude 15.

The high angular resolution of the Hubble Space Telescope will provide opportunities for many fundamental observations of globular clusters, most of which have been extensively discussed in the literature. We have therefore chosen to devote our time (and pages) to a presentation of what HST observations may reveal about some aspects of galactic globular clusters. To avoid infringing upon programs that others may propose, we have limited ourselves to simulations of observations that are part of our Guaranteed Time Observations. [The complete catalog of GTO observations has published by the Space Telescope Science Institute and is available upon request.]
