摘要
In September 1996 the first dedicated VLBI spacecraft, VSOP, will be launched. This Japanese spacecraft operating in conjunction with ground-based VLBI arrays such as the EVN or VLBA will enable observers to routinely undertake VLBI observations with maximum baseline lengths of 2.6 Earth diameters and a resolution of 55 mu as at the highest operating frequency of 22 GHz. In this paper we present a brief overview of the imaging capability of the VSOP mission together with an example of an imaging simulation.
