Scientific paper
The QUASAT VLBI mission to provide images of the total intensity and polarized emission of compact radio sources in continuum and line with a combination of angular resolution and quality unattainable from Earth is summarized. The astrophysical goals encompass the study of active nuclei at scales appropriate to the outer reaches of accretion disks and the optical broad and narrow line regions; the study of galactic continuum sources in stars and in the galactic center; and spectroscopic studies of galactic and extragalactic molecular masers to determine their role in the life cycle of stars, and their use as direct distance indicators.
