Abstract
The optical properties of the atmosphere limit the capabilities of ground-based astronomy. Taking telescopes beyond the atmosphere has allowed not only to significantly expand the spectral range of observations, but also to achieve great success in measurements in the visible range. In part, this has stimulated the creation of adaptive optical systems for ground-based telescopes. Of particular interest in the study of planets and exoplanets are observations in the IR and submm ranges. The capabilities of ground-based observations in these ranges are expanding, but will always remain limited. Extra-atmospheric astronomy has absolute priority in this. The article provides an overview of extra-atmospheric observatories in the UV, visible and IR ranges. Particular attention is paid to the new James Webb Space Telescope (JWST).
期刊介绍：
Solar System Research publishes articles concerning the bodies of the Solar System, i.e., planets and their satellites, asteroids, comets, meteoric substances, and cosmic dust. The articles consider physics, dynamics and composition of these bodies, and techniques of their exploration. The journal addresses the problems of comparative planetology, physics of the planetary atmospheres and interiors, cosmochemistry, as well as planetary plasma environment and heliosphere, specifically those related to solar-planetary interactions. Attention is paid to studies of exoplanets and complex problems of the origin and evolution of planetary systems including the solar system, based on the results of astronomical observations, laboratory studies of meteorites, relevant theoretical approaches and mathematical modeling. Alongside with the original results of experimental and theoretical studies, the journal publishes scientific reviews in the field of planetary exploration, and notes on observational results.
