Scientific paper

A review is presented of the current state of spectral line observations performed with VSOP. The historical context is discussed and the limitations due to sensitivity, intrinsic size and the effects of interstellar scattering are described. A preview of what might be possible with proposed future space VLBI missions, VSOP-2 and ARISE, is also presented. The principal conclusions are that SiO masers are probably not a viable target due to their intrinsic sizes but that H2O megamasers and H2O masers in regions of star formation will be a prime target for the future.
