The Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) is a third generation science instrument scheduled for installation into the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) during the servicing mission 3B scheduled for June 2001. The instrument has three different cameras, each of which is optimized for a specific set of science goals. The first, the Wide Field Camera, will be a high throughput, wide field optical and I-band optimized camera that is half-critically sampled at approximately 570 nm. The second, the High Resolution Channel (HRC) has a 26 inch by 29 inch field of view, it is optimized for the near- UV and is critically sampled at approximately 630 nm. The third camera, the Solar-Blind Camera is a far-UV, photon counting array that has a relatively high throughput over a 26 inch by 29 inch field of view. Two of the three cameras employ CCD detectors: the WFC a mosaic of two SITe 2048 by 4096 pixel CCDs and the HRC a 1024 by 1024 CCD based on the Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph 21 micrometers pixel CCD. IN this paper we review the performances of the devices baselined as flight candidates.
