Scientific paper

We present 1428 individual astrometric measurements of 256 Transneptunian objects made with HST. The observations were collected over three years with two instruments, the Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 and the Advanced Camera for Surveys High Resolution Camera, as part of four HST programs. We briefly describe the data and our analysis procedures. The submission of these measurements to the Minor Planet Center increased the individual arc length of objects by 1.83 days to 8.11 years. Of the 256 total objects, 62 (24.2%) had arc length increases \ge 3 years. The arc length for 60 objects (23.4%) was increased by a factor of two or greater.
