Scientific paper

During the next decade a number of advanced X-ray astronomy missions can be carried out using the Shuttle. In this paper we describe two such missions. One is the Advanced X-ray Astrophysics Facility (AXAF) which is envisioned as a 'permanent' national X-ray facility. The HEAO-B observatory is a forerunner of the AXAF. The second Shuttle mission which we describe is the LAMAR - Large Area Modular Array of Reflectors - which has been proposed as a survey experiment for Spacelab.
