Pan-STARRS, the Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System, is a project to develop a system of four wide field synoptic telescopes. It is designed to accomplish many of the science goals envisioned by the decadal review for LSST. The primary mission of Pan-STARRS is the detection of potentially hazardous asteroids (PHA), secondary science objectives are a (nearly) all-sky survey, a medium-deep survey, an ultra-deep survey, and studies of variability. This paper discusses the basic design choice of a distributed system of four telescopes and the details of the optics design.
