Abstract
The ISO satellite and its four scientific instruments are currently in an advanced hardware-building stage. ISO will offer unprecedented sensitivity, spectral and spatial resolution from near- to the far-infrared wavelengths. About two-thirds of the observing time will be available to the community when ISO is launched in 1993. The first call for observing proposals will be issued in 1991.
