The Editor was with the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center at Greenbelt, MD. Yoji Kondo (born 1933, died October 9, 2017) was a Japanese-born American astrophysicist who also wrote science fiction under the pseudonym Eric Kotani. He edited Requiem: New Collected Works by Robert A. Heinlein and Tributes to the Grand Master (1992), and contributed to New Destinies, Vol. VI/Winter 1988-Robert A. Heinlein Memorial Issue (1988), after his friend, writer Robert A. Heinlein, died in 1988. Kondo also edited the non-fiction book Interstellar Travel & Multi-Generational Space Ships, part of the Apogee Books Space Series. IAU Colloquium Number 123 "Observatories in Earth Orbit and Beyond" is the first colloquium sponsored by IAU Commission 44 on Astronomy from Space. The past two decades has seen a flourishing of astronomical observatories in space. Over a dozen orbiting observatories had opened up a new window on the universe, providing hitherto unavailable data in the electromagnetic spectral range from gamma-ray, X-ray, ultraviolet to infrared and radio. This demonstrated the crucial nature of astronomical observations from space. The invited talks of this colloquium consist primarily of reviews of currently operating observatories in space, future observatories that have been approved by sponsoring government or space agencies, the launch systems of U.S.A., E.S.A., U.S.S.R. and Japan, discussions of various orbits and sites, and alternate approaches in designing space observatories. Several panel discussions addressed those issues as well as the major unsolved problems of astronomy.
