Content
The RadioAstron AGN survey is performed by the space radio telescope Spektr-R and many sensitive ground radio telescopes in Russia, Europe, Asia, USA, South Africa, Australia, Japan at 18, 6, and 1.3 cm and has already detected about 140 AGNs at projected spacings up to 27 Earth diameters. Formal resolution as high as 14 microarcsec has been achieved for AGNs observed at 22 GHz. Current status and results of the RadioAstron AGN survey program will be summarized including statistics of measurements of very high brightness temperatures in AGN cores and physical implications of these findings. <p> On behalf of the RadioAstron AGN Survey Team
