The SNAP satellite will survey 20 square degrees down to magnitude R=30.4 with coadded images to m(AB)=32. This is 13000 times the area of the HDF and 6300 times the area of the ACS, to about the same depth and resolution. Like the Hubble Deep Field, SNAP survey data will be eminently combinable with other observations and analyses. It can act as a feeder for NGST in galaxy structure and evolution, weak and strong lensing, rare objects, and other studies that benefit from an ultra deep 11 band survey. Its time domain capabilities probe gamma ray burst afterglows, proper motions, supernova phenomenology, and outer solar system objects.
