The NASA astrophysics programs are outlined. The Hubble Space Telescope; the infrared background explorer, COBE; the Shuttle-based Astro-1/BBXRT UV and X-ray experiments; the extreme ultraviolet explorer, EUVE, the diffuse X-ray experiment, DXS, and the Gamma Ray Observatory, are described, and NASA involvement in ROSAT, exploring the X-ray sky, and ORFEUS, exploring the UV sky, is shown; SCOUT-class explorers are mentioned. Suborbital science obtained from aircraft and rockets will continue and expand; supporting research and technology will also continue and substantial effort will be expended on improvement of data systems to promote data accessibility and ease of use.
