The purpose of this review is to provide a convenient guide to the expected characteristics of the Space Telescope Observatory for astronomers and physicists. We have tried to provide enough detail so that a professional scientist, observer or theorist,can plan how the observatory may be used to further his observing program or to test theoretical models. Further detail is available in NASA documents that are referenced throughout this report.
