Scientific paper

The Very-Long-Baseline Array (VLBA), an array of 10 radio antennas across the U.S. which will provide the most detailed images yet of the universe, is discussed. The functioning and equipment of the VLBA are described. Some of the main scientific problems which will be attacked with the VLBA are reviewed, including the nature of jets and stellar evolution, the measurement of cosmic distances, and the measurement of the earth. The prospects for establishing VLBI networks in space are addressed.
