The year 1987 was one of the few in which the Danish Space Research Institute was not gathering data from a satellite in orbit. Viking operations ceased in January and attempts to reactivate in May failed. However, the year long Viking data accumulation will take a while to interpret. Two successful rocket launches, both carrying magnetometers, complemented the data acquisition activities. The Institute participated in ESA's Cluster project, joining two consortia which provided wave and magnetometer instruments, respectively. The Institute also agreed to provide technical and engineering support for the Institute of Astronomy at Arhus University in their effort to join the Stellar Seismology proposal for the SOHO mission. The majority of the Institute's production effort was, however, devoted to the Watch project of the Academy of Sciences, U.S.S.R., which was to provide four Watch all-sky monitor units for launch on the Granat satellite in November, 1988. A further opportunity came to participate in the Soviet space program, i.e., the Spectrum X-Gamma missions, the first of a new series to make astronomical measurements over a variety of wavelength bands from radio through gamma ray. The Institute's commitments to the ESA programs Hipparcos, Watch (on Eureca) and ISO received appropriate attention. The first two are delayed by launch schedule difficulties at ESA and NASA and schedules have been adjusted accordingly.
