A variety of instruments will be placed at the focus of the Advanced X-ray Astrophysics Facility (AXAF) telescope, either by moving them into focus through the use of an instrument carousel or by moving the telescope assembly. Focal plane instrument categories under consideration for AXAF encompass high and moderate resolution X-ray cameras, X-ray spectrometers, and polarimeters; some of these instruments may require such consumables as a cryogen, in the case of solid state device cooling, or a gas, as in the case of proportional counters. Attention is presently given to interface requirements impacting on the maintenance that must be conducted over the 15-year service life of AXAF, and, especially, on the 'aspect solution' criteria that must be met to minimize stiffness stability criteria.
