Abstract(in Japanese) (See Japanese page)
Abstract(in English) The Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS) is developing a satellite, named MUSES-B, for engineering experiments on space VLBI and VLBI radio-astronomical observations from space. The science observation program using MUSES-B is called VSOP. The satellite is designed as an orbiting radiotelescope with a parabolic antenna of 8 meters diameter. The main objects of the scientific observations are active galactic nuclei, quasars, and maser sources. The satellite will be launched in summer 1996. The satellite operation and science observations will be performed in collaboration with NASA and ground radio observatories around the world.
