Abstract
We review the observables of helioseismology that can contribute to our knowledge of the physical conditions in the solar interior. We discuss the limitations which presently prevent helioseismology from reaching its ultimate goal. We finally present a list of projects which either are already underway or that are planned for the near future, and we conclude by showing the crucial role that space observations may play in the future.
