Abstract
The HST Expert Assistant is an advice giving expert system currently under development within the Artificial Intelligence Pilot Project of the Space Telescope -European Coordinating Facility. The system aims at supporting astronomers who are planning observations with the Hubble Space Telescope. User requirements, knowledge elicitation and design issues, current status and future plans are described and discussed.
