VSOP-2 observations of ``blazars" may be part of the VSOP-2 Key Science Program for Active Galactic Nuclei. We propose VSOP-2 observations of nearby blazars together with a multi-frequency campaign observations. For example, in two nearby TeV blazars Mrk 421 and Mrk 501, the 38 micro-arcsec resolution corresponds to about 0.03 pc in linear scale, which is comparable to the size of the high energy emission region in the standard one-zone model.
We show the advantages of VSOP-2 observation of these blazars compared with previous VLBI studies, and discuss some relevant unresolved problems.
