Scientific paper

The development of large-format CCD arrays has led to the proposal for such an array to be placed at the focus of the Hubble Space Telescope. The characteristics of the CCD make it a near-ideal focal plane detector for space astronomy in the 100 - 1000 nm wavelength range: the large format (2048×2048 pixels) and 27 μm pixel size are closely matched to the HST resolution and field of view for the radial-bay; the low readout noise (goal ≡3 electrons rms) and large full well capacity (750,000 electrons) lead to a dynamic range which is orders of magnitude greater than the first-generation HST cameras.
