Six proposed Space Telescope programs involving globular clusters are described. The projects appropriate for galactic clusters are: the detection of white dwarfs, the study of the faint end of the Population II luminosity function, the measurement of mass segregation, and the search for a cusp in the density distribution caused by core collapse or by a massive black hole. The two programs that involve extragalactic globular clusters are: the determination of the luminosity function of clusters around different galaxies and the measurement of tidal radii of clusters surrounding elliptical galaxies.
