Radio Astronomy: Vlb Interferometry

Scientific paper

The aim of the review is to give the non-specialist reader an overview of activity worldwide in VLBI astronomy. VLBI systems are being developed rapidly at many locations around the world: regional arrays like the EVN, VLBA, and Australian VLBI array are continuing to expand their facilities while the APT and the Coordinated mm VLBI Array are about to begin operation; new observing techniques and capabilities are being exploited to make exciting scientific discoveries; and the first of the two space missions VSOP (Japan) and RadioAstron (Russia) will be launched in August 1996 heralding in the age of space radio astronomy. Coordination of these efforts is essential both for ground and space VLBI. The organisation of ground-based VLBI has run remarkably smoothly now for many years, and there is every hope that the largest coordination task of all so far, dovetailing the operations of a satellite with those of the ground-based arrays and other radio telescopes, will also run smoothly when put to the test.
