Scientific paper

The VSOP mission is a Japanese-led project to image radio sources with sub-milliarcsec resolution by correlating the signal from the orbiting 8-m telescope, HALCA, with a global array of telescopes. Twenty-five percent of the scientific time of this mission is devoted to a survey of the 400 brightest, small-diameter extra-galactic radio sources at 5GHz. The major goals of the VSOP survey are statistical in nature: to determine the brightness temperature and approximate structure; to provide a source list for use with future VLBI space missions; and to compare radio properties with other data throughout the EM spectrum. This paper describes: The compilation of the entire source list; the selection of sources to be observed with VSOP; the extensive ground resources; and the status of the observations as of March 2000. In these proceedings Paper II describes the reduction methods and Paper III gives initial statistical results.
