A number of performed and proposed space astronomy missions are discussed. The IRAS mission which mapped almost the entire sky at wavelengths of 12, 25, 60, and 100 microns detecting 250,000 IR sources and the Spacelab-2 IR telescope which observed about 90 percent of the sky per orbit are examined. Consideration is given to the design and objectives of the proposed ESA Cosmic Background Explorer mission and the IR Space Observatory, the U.S. Space IR Telescope Facility, and the Soviet Aelita mission. The development of the Far IR Space Telescope, which is to be an 8-m antenna for submm astronomy, and the Large Deployable Reflector, a 12-15-m orbiting telescope for the 2 micron to 1 mm range, is being studied.
