A review is given of recent observations of the X-ray emission from supernova remnants carried out on the Einstein, Tenma and EXOSAT satellites as well as from a few sounding rocket experiments. Our current interpretation of the high resolution images, high resolution energy spectra and the first few spectrally resolved images is discussed.
