I summarize the ST-2010 mission concept: a large-aperture (4 - 8 m) ultraviolet/optical successor to the Hubble Space Telescope, which is scheduled for de-orbit in the year 2010. A complete scientific and technological study is given in the report of the Ultraviolet-Optical Working Group (UVOWG), commissioned by NASA to study the scientific rationale for new missions in ultraviolet/optical space astronomy. ST-2010 will provide a major facility for many key projects: (1) Mapping dark baryons and large-scale structure; (2) detecting unseen matter through weak gravitational lensing; (3) Studying feedback from star formation; (4) Determining the origin of star, planets, and the elements. With an emphasis on high- throughput UV spectroscopy and wide-field imaging, ST-2010 will require significant advances in technology: UV detectors, gratings, mirrors, spectrographs and imagers. To achieve our science goals, the ST-2010 spectrographs will need to deliver 10 - 100-fold increases in throughput and multiplex efficiency over Hubble. The ST-2010 imagers should achieve similar gains in field of view (10' X 10') and efficiency.
