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 interferom eter as well as principles of organization of its science program.\n\nhttp s://events.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de/indico/event/4/session/0/contribution/31 LOCATION:Max-Planck-Institut für Radioastronomie\, Bonn\, Germany 0.02 URL:https://events.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de/indico/event/4/session/0/contribution /31 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Current status of Millimetron space observatory DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20151130T123000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20151130T125000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260812T235739Z UID:indico-contribution-0-0-13@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Dr. PILIPENKO\, Sergey (P.N. Lebedev Physical Instit ute RAS)\nMillimetron is a planned 10-meter class space telescope for the far infrared to millimeter wavelengths (approx. 20 microns to 1 cm). It wi ll operate in two modes. First one\, the single dish mode\, will cover wav elengths which are poorly accessible from the Earth's surface. With its hi gh sensitivity reached due to active cooling of the telescope mirrors\, Mi llimetron in this mode will observe interstellar medium in galaxies at the epoch of reionization\, search for water in the atmospheres of Solar syst em bodies and in protoplanetary disks and study many other weak sources. O n the longer wavelengts Millimetron will be able to work as an arm of a sp ace-Earth interferometer with baselines up to 1.5 million kilometers\, all owing to probe astrophysical objects with an unprecedented angular resolut ion. In this talk the current status of Millimetron development and its sc ientific goals will be summarized.\n\nhttps://events.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de/ind ico/event/4/session/0/contribution/13 LOCATION:Max-Planck-Institut für Radioastronomie\, Bonn\, Germany 0.02 URL:https://events.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de/indico/event/4/session/0/contribution /13 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:The farthest view with overterrestrial baselines DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20151130T125000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20151130T131000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260812T235739Z UID:indico-contribution-0-0-39@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Prof. GURVITS\, Leonid (JIVE)\nThe unrivalled angula r resolution of Space VLBI being coupled with the natural physical “zoom ing” properties of the expanding Universe make high-redshift compact rad io sources a very valuable targets for observations at extremely long base lines. In this brief review I will revisit the legacy of the high-redshift project conducted with the VSOP about 15 years ago and present a report i n progress on the ongoing RadioAstron project focused at sources at redshi fts exceeding 3.\n\nhttps://events.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de/indico/event/4/sessio n/0/contribution/39 LOCATION:Max-Planck-Institut für Radioastronomie\, Bonn\, Germany 0.02 URL:https://events.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de/indico/event/4/session/0/contribution /39 END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT SUMMARY:Pulsar Studies with RadioAstron DTSTART;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20151130T131000Z DTEND;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20151130T134000Z DTSTAMP;VALUE=DATE-TIME:20260812T235739Z UID:indico-contribution-0-0-9@cern.ch DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Mr. RUDNITSKIY\, Alexey (ASC LPI)\nOn behalf of the Radioastron pulsar group this report presents an overview of the studies w hich were done with the Radioastron space radio telescope during the first four years of mission operation\, including the early and key science pro grams. Space-VLBI observations of pulsars with the highest angular resolut ion revealed the new interstellar plasma scattering effects\, such as\, re solving the substructure in the scattering disk. Diameters of scattering d isks were measured for several pulsars and the distances to the effective scattering screens were estimated. Layers of scattering plasma were detect ed to be located relatively close to the Sun (10-100 pc). Such layers migh t be responsible for fast flux variations of compact extragalactic radio s ources. A new insight on the interstellar scattering was demonstrated by s tudy of the instantaneous visibilities which were measured with the Space- VLBI observations of giant pulses from the Crab pulsar.\n\nhttps://events. mpifr-bonn.mpg.de/indico/event/4/session/0/contribution/9 LOCATION:Max-Planck-Institut für Radioastronomie\, Bonn\, Germany 0.02 URL:https://events.mpifr-bonn.mpg.de/indico/event/4/session/0/contribution /9 END:VEVENT END:VCALENDAR
