Scientific paper

The suitability of the basic Space Station for astronomical missions is reviewed. For many types of astronomical missions the manned Space Station is unsuitable, but certain instruments that can be operated from it are identified. The requirements for free flying astronomical platforms, possibly based on the Eureca or British Aerospace space platform are discussed. The astronomical uses to which space platforms and the associated space infrastructure can be put are given, and a number of large space astronomy missions are described. It is clear that astronomers must take advantage of the facilities that will be available in the Space Station era.
