We will obtain WFPC2 images and FOS spectra of a young, oxygen- rich supernova remnant called N132D in the Magellanic Cloud. The images will be used to study fine-scale spatial and ionization structures within the knotty filaments, and also provide EARLY ACQ exposures for the spectroscopy. The FOS will be used to obtain UV/optical spectra of chemically and kinematically distinct knots in the object. Only HST has the resolution necessary to isolate individual knots for study. Having UV and optical data with the same apertures in the same positions will for the first time provide reliable relative intensities of UV and optical lines for comparison with theoretical models. This will provide a critical test of the emission mechanisms and allow us to derive reliable elemental abundances. The HST data will provide important tests of theories of nucleosynthesis in massive stars and will allow an improved understanding of the dynamics of SN explosions and mixing in the ejecta.
