SkyMapper is an automated 1.3-m telescope with an 5.7-square degree field of view being built at Siding Spring Observatory. It will have 16K×16K 0.5-arcsec pixels and conduct a multi-color (u,v{_s},g,r,i,z), multi-epoch (4hr, 1 day, 1 week, 1 month, 1 yr sampling) survey of the southerly 2π steradian to below 22 magnitude. It will provide star and galaxy photometry to better than 3% global accuracy and astrometry to better than 50 mas. Data will be supplied without proprietary period as part of Virtual Observatory work. The survey will take 5 years to complete.
