A description is presented of the Large Space Telescope (LST), which will be launched in 1982 and can accomodate four scientific instruments at any given time, permitting spectrographic and photometric observations between 1200 A in the UV and 1 mm in the IR. Basic elements of the LST are the optical telescope assembly, the scientific instruments (cameras, spectrographs, photometers, and an astrometer), and the support-systems module. Developmental as well as observational considerations are discussed, including various approaches to testing, maintenance, data transmission and processing, instrument calibration, housekeeping, and refurbishment. A possible mission scenario is outlined.
