1. Decides to declare 2009 the International Year of Astronomy

In 1994, SAAO organized the Annual Review of South African Astronomy and Astrophysics, which included participants from overseas and from nine South African universities and institutes.

20 years ago, 30 years ago, only big professional astronomers with very big telescopes could see far into space.

In 1994, the results of research by SAAO staff and other astronomers using the facilities of SAAO were published in 146 papers in astronomical journals and in conference proceedings.

The Submillimeter Wave Astronomy Satellite (SWAS) is to be launched on a Pegasus rocket in 1995 or 1996.

Now, six and a half years later, over seven million people are using it, contributing over 700,000 posts per day.

The fifth X ray astronomy satellite (ASTRAY E) is now being developed for launch in 1999 and an infrared astronomy satellite is being studied for launch in the 21st Century first.

Although IAU can provide only limited financial resources, it can extend assistance through its international schools for young astronomers and the newly instituted Teaching for Astronomy Development programme.

Six spacecraft, MUSES B for the space VLBI (1997), Lunar A for the Moon Penetrator Mission (1997), and PLANET B for the Mars Orbiter (1998), ASTRO E for X ray astronomy (1999) and MUSES C for asteroid sample return (2001), and ASTRO F for infrared astronomy (2002) have already been approved for launching by M V.

The fifth X ray astronomy satellite (ASTRO E) is now being developed for launch in 1999.
