The Astrophysics program of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration of the United States emphasizes use of vehicles to obtain above-the-atmosphere observational advantages, including expanded electromagnetic frequency access, enhanced sensitivity resulting from reduced or eliminated atmospheric absorption of light and image smearing. Space technology provides a superior means for astrophysical inquiry, particularly in the case of circumstellar material. Much of the flight program is undergoing intensive review following the Space Shuttle disaster of January 1986.
