ARISE is an antenna dedicated to space-VLBI that has been proposed to NASA as a mission for the future. The basic design is for a sensitive antenna that can observe at frequencies as high as 86GHz. The apogee of the orbit is envisioned to be about 40,000km in order to provide angular resolution as fine as 6 micro-arcsec (FWHM of longest baseline at 86GHz). The main objective is to observe the jets of blazars as close to the central engine as possible and to measure the properties of water masers for approximately 20 active galactic nuclei in order to extract information about the central massive black holes. Other possible observations include studies of intraday variability, gravitational lenses, and the regions of X-ray and gamma-ray emission in blazars.
