It is noted that the use of cryogenic components on spacecraft, already quite common, will likely increase in the future. Attention is given to a number of applications including earth observation, atmospheric measurements, infrared astronomy and magnetic field measurements. These applications are discussed with regard to their cryogenic requirements. Further, four cryogenic instruments provided by the United States to be launched on spacecraft in the near future are described. Finally, other missions being planned that will use cryogenic instrumentation are also considered.
