The missions and scientific results obtained by ESA's scientific satellite program for the period from May 1988 to April 1989 are described. During this period, ESA operated only one scientific satellite, the International Ultraviolet Explorer in collaboration with NASA. The Giotto spacecraft, still in orbit around the Sun, in hibernation mode, could potentially investigate the comet Grigg-Skellerup in 1992. Hipparcos, the astrometry satellite is ready for launch in July 1989, and the main development phase of ISO is well under way. Future missions, planned or in preparation are discussed and the future of the overall program is evaluated.
