Abstract
In this introductory presentation, wide variety of potential applications of superconductivity in space are discussed. They are categorized into such two groups as system applications and device and component applications. Each application of the former utilizes a large superconducting magnet, by which the main feature of the system can be characterized. The second category includes various kinds of applications to devices and components. Among the potential applications, some are in fairly well developed stage and have a great impact upon space technology in the near future, while others are still under development or in the conceptual design phase.
