The scientific rationale for variable star observations from outside the Earth’s atmosphere will be discussed, followed by a review and discussion of existing observational techniques with reference to their capabilities and limitations. Existing techniques to be discussed will cover aircraft-, balloon-, rocket- and satellite-borne experiments, and observations thus far obtained will also be reviewed. Experiments, planned or under consideration, and also future prospects of obtaining variable star observations from outside the terrestrial atmosphere will be discussed.
