Scientific paper

High energy astronomy has completed a first generation of discovery, accomplished with observatories of rather modest capabilities, and is now about to inaugurate a second generation search with order of magnitude advances in space instrumentation. The past five years have seen Uhuru, SAS-2, Ariel 5, ANS, COS-B, and Copernicus. In the next half of the decade we are looking forward to the HEAO satellites, a Gamma-Ray Explorer (GRE), UK-6, and EXOSAT. For the shuttle program preliminary planning envisions a high-resolution 1.2 meter X-ray telescope, a Large Area Moderate Resolution Array (LAMAR) for soft X-ray astronomy, and numerous opportunities for specialized payloads of lesser sizes.
