AbstractThe Hubble Space Telescope Second Generation Instrument Program is described. The original instrument selection process in 1985 is discussed as well as the NASA plan to make a final selection of an infrared instrument in late 1988.

Imaging Spectrograph

The Space Telescope Imaging Spectrograph (STIS) is a second generation instrument to be installed into the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) in-orbit 5–9 years after the first launch. Together with the infra-red instrument, it will provide a large increase in capability of the observatory, and be able to replace a first generation that had failed or degraded.

The Universe

The Hubble Space Telescope is to be a long-lived observatory with wide-ranging spectroscopic and imaging capability in the UV and the visible, and in the near-IR as the second-generation instruments are implemented. HST will have a dramatic impact on our view of the universe. However, it is by no means premature to address the issue of its successor, even though HST has not yet been launched. We must look ahead with the realistic view that HST will degrade and will need to be replaced. The question that we must then address is:What is the UV-Visible-IR Observatory that will follow HST?I will make the case for this being an 8-16 m class telescope.
