Scientific paper

Recent space-astronomy missions with UK involvement are surveyed, and plans for future missions are discussed. Current theory on the nature and scale of the cosmos is summarized; the advantages of space-based visual, IR, UV, and X-ray observations are indicated; and the achievements of the Ariel V X-ray observatory (1974-1980), the IUE (launched in 1978), and IRAS (launched in 1983) are briefly characterized. Future plans include the ESA IR Space Observatory (scheduled for 1991), the UV observatory Columbus, the NASA/ESA Space Telescope (1986), and the UK/FRG/NASA Rosat all-sky soft-X-ray survey mission (1987).
