The Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array (NuSTAR), scheduled for launch in February 2012, will allow for sensitive studies of high energy sources in the Milky Way Galaxy at an unprecedented depth in the 5-80 keV range. The baseline 2-year mission includes a mixture of field surveys and targeted observations of known sources. Several months will be spent mapping Galactic fields, both near the Galactic center and towards the Norma arm. These surveys should identify large numbers of X-ray binaries, compact stellar remnants, as well as observe diffuse high energy emission. Targeted observations include studies of high energy emission from magnetars, local supernovae and supernova remnants, pulsars, and pulsar wind nebulae.
