Scientific paper

VSOP is the first space VLBI project, consisting of a space radio telescope HALCA and many ground radio telescopes. The highest resolution was 0.3 mas using a 30,000-km baseline. In the 8-yr mission lifetime since 1997, the project had completed more than 700 observations, primarily targeting active galactic nuclei (AGNs). AGN jets, lobes, cores, and accreting matter were imaged with a high resolution three times better than that of ground VLBI. In this paper I summarize highlights of VSOP results and also discuss prospects to the next space VLBI mission, VSOP-2.
