The Large Space Telescope (LST), planned to be launched in 1980, will give an opportunity for astrometric observations of high quality to be secured.A detailed survey is presented of the potentialities of the LST for studies of proper motions, parallaxes, star clusters, double stars, perturbed motion stars, occultations, fundamental astrometry and solar system observations.The proposed characteristics and design capabilities of the LST are tabulated.
