Abstract

The Canadian astrophysics community is embarking on its decadal planning exercise for the 2020-2030 period to decide on Canadian priorities. Canada has contributed to missions such as Herschel, Planck, Astrosat, Hitomi and has delivered two instruments for the JWST and contributing to the XARM mission. Looking ahead, the Canadian Space Agency (CSA) is currently supporting developments for several new space astrophysics mission opportunities, such as for LiteBIRD and SPICA and concepts such as the wide-field UV-optical space telescope Current investments and new concepts for the next decade are summarized.
