India has an expanding program in using space as a platform for research. Astrophysics research from satellites increasingly complement ground-based observations with unique wavelength coverage, more frequent temporal coverage and diffraction-limited observations. India’s first dedicated space astronomy mission, AstroSat has completed five years in orbit and continues to generate important results. Most onboard systems are healthy and the mission is expected to continue to operate for many more years. Plans for space astronomy missions beyond AstroSat, are under discussion for some time. These are based on responses from the Indian research community to an announcement of Opportunity call in early 2018. Here we discuss, an outline of the science focus of future space astronomy missions, under consideration.

印度正在扩大利用太空作为研究平台的计划。卫星的天体物理学研究越来越多地以独特的波长覆盖范围、更频繁的时间覆盖范围和衍射限制观测来补充地面观测。印度首个专门的太空天文学任务 AstroSat 已在轨道上运行了五年，并继续取得重要成果。大多数机载系统运行良好，预计该任务将继续运行多年。超越 AstroSat 的太空天文学任务计划正在讨论一段时间。这些是基于印度研究界对 2018 年初“机遇号”公告的回应。在这里，我们讨论了正在考虑中的未来空间天文学任务的科学重点的概述。
