The business of modern cosmology is the search for the main constituents of the universe, the pattern of their distribution and motion, the relation to the geometry of space-time, and the way the whole arrangement is evolving with time. This leads us to a rich list of research problems. I describe here three examples that illustrate the expected role of space telescope in the endeavour.
