The Cosmic Assembly Near-IR Deep Extragalactic Legacy Survey (CANDELS) is designed to document the first third of galactic evolution, from redshift z 8 to 1.5. It will image more than 250,000 distant galaxies using three separate cameras on board the Hubble Space Telescope, from the mid-UV to near-IR. It will also find and measure Type Ia SNe beyond z > 1.5 and test their accuracy as standard candles for cosmology. Five premier multi-wavelength sky regions are selected. Each has multi-wavelength data from Spitzer and other facilities, plus extensive spectroscopy of the brighter galaxies; additional ancillary data are still arriving. The use of five widely separated fields mitigates cosmic variance and yields statistically robust and complete samples of galaxies down to a stellar mass of a billion solar masses out to z 2, and down to the knee of the UV luminosity function of galaxies out to z 8. The survey covers approximately 800 square arcminutes and is divided into two parts. The CANDELS/Deep survey (5 σ point-source limit H_AB = 27.8 mag) covers 125 square arcminutes within GOODS-N and GOODS-S. The CANDELS/Wide survey includes GOODS and three additional fields (EGS, COSMOS, and UDS) and covers the full area to 5 σ point-source limit of H_AB = 27.0 mag or better. Data from the survey are non-proprietary, and high-level science products are released within 3 months of each observation.
