Scientific paper

Our knowledge on the age structure, the chemical evolution, and the kinematics of the Galactic disk has grown substantially during the last years. Recent results on the properties of the stellar populations in the Galactic disk are summarized, and ongoing and future surveys and facilities are discussed. A short overview of recent mass estimates for the Milky Way is presented, and a brief summary of some of the key properties of the Galactic companions is given. The coming decade promises major breakthroughs in understanding our Milky Way, its disk, and the role of its satellites.
