Abstract
The Advanced Composition Explorer, to be launched in August of 1997, will include six high
resolution spectrometers that will measure the composition of interplanetary nuclei with 2≤Z≤28 from < 1 keV/nuc to ~500 MeV/nuc. Three additional instruments will provide the interplanetary context for these measurements. We give a brief introduction to the ACE mission, its
instrumentation, and its goals.

The ACE scientific payload was developed under the leadership of the California Institute of Technology
(E. C. Stone, PI) and was managed by the Explorer Projects Office at Goddard Space Flight
Center. The spacecraft was built by the Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory. The
