The Sun-Earth Connections Coronal and Heliospheric Investigation (SECCHI) instrument suite consists of five almost identical
telescopes on each of the STEREO spacecraft. Each instrument suite includes an extreme ultraviolet disk imager (EUVI), two
coronagraphs (COR1 and COR2) and two heliospheric imagers (HI1 and HI2) that will image the corona and heliosphere to
distances beyond the Earth's orbit. SECCHI observations will consist of a synoptic program optimized to provide simultaneous
identical images for stereoscopic viewing of coronal and heliospheric structures from both STEREO spacecraft, and special
observations that can be tailored to meet specific science objectives. This paper will describe the observational
capabilities of the SECCHI instruments, and will discuss the operational resources available and constraints on observations
at various stages of the mission.
