We report the first-epoch VSOP observations of the superluminal quasar 3C 380 at L- and C-band. A straight motion with a constant apparent speed of the component A is preferred, suggesting ballistic ejection from the core. The opening angle of the jet is about 20 degrees at both the pc- and kpc-scale. The distribution of spectral indices along the jet reveals shell-like spectral enhancements at the knots, possibly indicating an adiabatic expansion of the plasma blobs.
