Scientific paper

RAVE (RAdial Velocity Experiment) is an ambitious program to conduct an all-sky survey (complete to V = 16) to measure the radial velocities, metallicities and abundance ratios of 50 million stars using the 1.2-m UK Schmidt Telescope of the Anglo-Australian Observatory (AAO), together with a northern counterpart, over the period 2006 - 2010. The survey would represent a giant leap forward in our understanding of our own Milky Way galaxy, providing a vast stellar kinematic database orders of magnitude larger than any other survey proposed for this coming decade. As a by product, a database of medium resolution spectra for our targets will also be provided to the community. I will present the preliminary phase covering the period 2003-2005 that will observe 100,000 stars using existing facilities at the AAO.
