While a rather detailed Conceptual Design Report will be available in April, an Superconducting Super Collider (SSC) it is appropriate to give a preview, now that the primary parameters for the Conceptual Design Report have been put down. In this preview the leading two chapters give the historical and scientific-technical background for the SSC and deal at somelength with the physics issues to be explored by the SSC. A third chapter reviews briefly the engineering and accelerator physics foundations for the developing SSC design, while the fourth lists the primary design parameters and describes the overall design. The fifth chapter describes briefly the principal engineering systems that will appear in the Conceptual Design Report, including the rather extensive injector system required. A sixth and final chapter outlines the beginnings of a ``construction plan`` put together for the purposes of exploring practical schedules and defining the critical design, development and planning paths for the overall facility and its major sub-systems.
