The Pan-STARRS-1 (PS1) optical wide-field telescope has begun a series of multi-band surveys covering the the 30,000 sq. degs. observable from Hawaii, with multi-epoch data to be obtained over the next 3 years. Its unique combination of high quality photometry, astrometry and red sensitivity will yield the most complete survey to date of the extended solar neighborhood, especially through high quality proper motions and parallaxes for the low-luminosity stars and brown dwarfs within 100 pc from Earth, both as isolated objects and in moving groups and open clusters. In addition, the large volume probed by PS1 will enable identification of the rarest classes of ultracool dwarfs.
