The Space Telescope Science Institute (STScI) serves the astronomical community through the operation of multiple NASA flagship missions including Hubble, JWST, and WFIRST, the development of advanced data and science archives, including Kepler and TESS, and the dissemination of astronomical information to the broadest public audiences. Offering this breadth of resources to help the scientific community advance, STScI provides support and the primary user interface for the Hubble, Webb and Roman Space Telescopes. STScI will contribute to a wide range of workshops, science sessions, splinter meetings, and exhibits throughout the meeting.
The STScI Town Hall will serve as the center piece for our AAS 238 presence. We will report on the status of our existing and upcoming missions and describe new opportunities designed to advance astrophysics through the 2020s. In particular, we will present highlights from the Cycle 1 science program for the James Webb Space Telescope. We will include time for discussion to receive community input regarding new capabilities and to answer questions about our activities in the coming year.
