Abstract We propose to conduct a Medium-Deep Survey as a Key Project. In doing so, we plan to increase the overall efficiency of HST, mainly by taking deep multicolor images with the WF/PC in parallel mode, but also by including UV images with the FOC when the WF/PC is primary. In addition to the great potential for serendipitous discoveries, the parallel data are needed to undertake a number of scientifically important programs, both in Galactic and extra-galactic astronomy. In particular, we will concentrate on areas ranging from the evolution of galaxies to Galactic structure, and on serendipitous searches for objects from the solar system to goal of measuring variability and proper motions, and to optimize the limiting magnitudes and color baselines for fields of particular interest. Our access to large ground-based telescopes is a major strength of the team that will ensure that the HST survey is optimized and followed up in a timely and coordinated way, using HST only for its unique properties of UV sensitivity, high resolution and low background. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ 8.
