Scientific paper

Following the recommendation of the “HST and beyond” Report, NASA is investing a considerable effort in the definition of a large aperture (8 meter class) near IR space telescope (known as the Next Generation Space Telescope) to study the Universe at high redshift (5 < z < 30) and in particular the formation and evolution of galaxies at that early epoch. ESA has recently decided to join NASA in these preliminary studies in view of a possible future collaboration in the construction and operation of such an important astronomical facility. ESO is also supporting a European participation in NGST because of the scientific complementarity between VLT and NGST observing programmes.
