We have observed OT 081 at 4.8, 8.4, 15, and 22 GHz, with the VLBI Space Observatory Programme (VSOP) and the Very-Long-Baseline Array (VLBA) after its radio burst on 1998 May. Multi-frequency VLBI images show a dominant component D and a weak component C1, which is a knot of the jet extending to the north-west direction. The derived physical parameters of component D are the Doppler factor, delta_eq ~ 32.0, the Lorentz factor of 16.0< Gamma < 16.9, and the viewing angle, phi < deg68. It appears that although delta_eq of component C1 is smallar than that of componet D by one order of magnitude, Gamma of component C1 is about twice the range as that of component D at the 1 sigma level. However, phi of component D is different from that of component C1. The rapid variability of the flux density of OT 081 is suggested to be due to the variation of phi .
