Scientific paper

The Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR) will carry into orbit the first astronomical telescope capable of focusing high energy X-rays in the 5 - 80 keV band. NuSTAR will provide a combination of sensitivity, imaging and energy resolving power a factor ten to one hundred times better than any previous mission that has operated in the high-energy
X-ray band. In this talk I will describe the development status and capabilities of the observatory, results from testing and calibration of the flight optics and detectors, and the observations that will take place in the two-year baseline mission. In addition, I will describe plans for public data access and an extended guest investigator program.
