A comparison between the past four decades of astrophysical space missions and those expected to be launched over the next decade shows a marked decrease in numbers. However, missions such as Gaia and the JWST are expected to have a major impact on planetary nebula research. The capabilities of these and other anticipated space missions are discussed.
