The DS3 mission will launch a space optical interferometer into heliocentric orbit, for observation of 50-100 sources on baselines up to 1000-2000 m. The detection threshold will be visual magnitude 12-13, and the angular resolution in the 500-900 nm passband will be approximately equals 100 microseconds. Interesting science targets which could be imaged include: Cyg X-1, Wolf-Rayet stars, and FU Ori stars. With a modest improvement in sensitivity, the structure of the broad line emission regions of a few bright AGNs could be measured.
