Scientific paper

The Space Telescope offers astronomers for the first time an opportunity to do precision astrometry from space. In this paper, the Space Telescope is described, along with its initial complement of instruments. Particular attention is paid to the Fine Guidance Sensors, which will be the principal astrometric instrument. The responsibilities of the Space Telescope Astrometry Team towards the Space Telescope Astrometry project are described. A description of the scientific results to be expected from Space Telescope astrometry is given. The impact of other proposed Space Astrometry projects, such as the European Astrometry Satellite, on Space Telescope Astrometry is also discussed.
