Only the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) can detect about 20 of the faint satellites discovered with the two Voyager spacecraft. We describe here the techniques used in obtaining astrometric positions of the inner satellites of Uranus with the Wide Field Planetary Camera 2 (WFPC2) of HST, and those planned for our scheduled observations of the inner Neptunian satellites.
