  FAME is designed to perform an all-sky, astrometric survey with unprecedented
accuracy. It will create a rigid astrometric catalog of 4x10^7 stars with 5 <
m_V < 15. For bright stars, 5 < m_V < 9, FAME will determine positions and
parallaxes accurate to < 50 microarcseconds, with proper motion errors < 50
microarcseconds/year. For fainter stars, 9 < m_V < 15, FAME will determine
positions and parallaxes accurate to < 500 microarcseconds, with proper motion
errors < 500 microarcseconds/year. It will also collect photometric data on
these 4 x 10^7 stars in four Sloan DSS colors.
