Scientific paper
Recent achievements and development trends in astronomy and astrophysics are discussed. Ground- and space-equipment initiatives, recommended by the Astronomy and Astrophysics Survey Committee, are presented. Large programs including the Space Infrared Telescope Facility, the Infrared-Optimized 8-m Telescope, the Millimeter Array, Southern 8-m Telescope and other small and moderate programs are described. It is noted that theoretical research in such areas as plasma physics, atomic physics, nuclear physics, radiative transfer, properties of matter, which support analysis and interpretation of observation data should be developed. Establishment of national electronic archives, development of fast networks for linking most astronomical computers, and fundamental scientific research in lunar astronomy are also recommended. Some aspects of international collaboration are noted.
