The Advanced Camera for Surveys was installed on the Hubble Space Telescope in March 2002. The instrument science team will search for planets using direct imaging with the ACS coronagraph and with precise astrometric and photometric measurement of suitable stars and disks. The camera is operational and performing to expectation.
