Abstract

We present the status of the VLT Survey Telescope (VST) and OmegaCAM projects. VST is a 2.6m telescope which will be integrated in the ESO-VLT environment at Paranal and will be equipped with a 16k × 16k CCD camera (OmegaCAM) covering 1 square degree with a resolution of 0.21 arcsec/pix. The main scope of this observing facility is the selection of targets for VLT science. It is expected that VST+OmegaCAM will become operational in spring 2004.
