Infrared and Radio Astronomy and Astrometry

This volume contains 69 papers selected from the above Symposia held in The Hague. The COSPAR Symposium entitled Astrometry from Space deals with the assessments and initial results of the first astrometric satellite ever launched: HIPPARCOS. The section on Infrared and Submillimeter Universe at High Red Shifts concentrates on the prospects of infrared and submillimeter observations for cosmology and the successful results of the COBE launch. The mid-nineties will see the launch of two space VLBI missions. Each satellite will carry a deployable 10m diameter radio telescope for VLBI observations from which structural information with unprecedented angular resolution and image quality will result. The papers presented in this section reflect the current state-of-the-art in Space Very Long Baseline Interferometry.
