Abstract

The Hubble Space Telescope key project to determine the extragalactic distance scale aims to measure H0 to 10%. To achieve this goal will require Cepheid distance measurements for some 20 galaxies within a redshift of approximately 103 km/s. These galaxies in turn will calibrate five secondary distance indicators which will extend the volume over which the expansion rate has been measured to some 106 Mpc3.
