In the wake of the HIPPARCOS success four highly accurate space astrometry missions are now approved for launch within the next ten years. Stellar physics and galactic physics constitute the core science of these missions with deep impact on star formation and evolution, cosmic distance scales and age determination of the oldest stars. Summary data are provided in this paper to compare the goals and capabilities of these missions.
