Content
The RadioAstron Space VLBI mission utilizes the 10-m radio telescope on board the dedicated Spektr-R spacecraft to observe cosmic radio sources with an unprecedented angular resolution at 92, 18, 6 and 1.3 cm. The longest baseline of the space-ground interferometer is about 350,000 km. We will review in the talk basic parameters and capabilities of the space radio telescope Spektr-R and RadioAstron Space VLB interferometer as well as principles of organization of its science program.
