+Taverna and [myExperiment][1] are being used for astronomy research by several projects:
+
+ - [AstroGrid][2] - plugin to allow AstroGrid utilities within Taverna 1.x
+ - [HELIO][3] - workflows including heliophysical services
+ - [SAMPO][4] - development of a workflow system based upon Taverna

+##AstroGrid##
+The UK’s [AstroGrid][5] is a ~£14M (over the period 2001-2009) project aimed at building a data-grid for UK 
+   astronomy, which will form the UK contribution to a global VirtualObservatory.</p>
+
+A [Taverna 1.x processor][6] has been written to enable client-site AstroGrid utilities to be included within 
+   Taverna workflows.

+##SAMPO##
+The SAMPO [project][10] was part of the ongoing Finnish contribution to the [European Southern Observatory][11].
+
+Based upon Taverna, the SAMPO project developed the Recipe Flexible Execution workflow system [ESO Reflex][12]. 
+ESO Refex allows users to connect together C programs that reduce the raw data produced by ESO instruments.

+   ESO Reflex workbench.
