During this reporting period, the satellites ISEE 3 (now ICE), IMP 8, Helios I, Hinotori, Nimbus 7 (ERB), P78-1, Pioneer Venus Orbiter (PVO), Spacelab 1 and Solar Maximum Mission (SMM) continue to provide solar observations. We review briefly some recent developments, selected by the author as most significant, concerning: coronal mass ejecta, high-energy neutral emissions, X-ray and microwave bursts, the solar constant, and solar flare periodicity. While the emphasis is on new work, some significant results, obtained in earlier spacecraft experiments and only recently reported, are also mentioned. The repair, in space, of SMM in 1984 April, resulting in reactivation of three of the four pointed experiments is briefly described and a status report of the SMM 2 mission is given. We conclude with a summary of important future programs.
