Space VLBI in China

Abstract Space Very Long Baseline Interferometry(VLBI) has unique applications in high-resolution imaging of fine structureof astronomical objectsand high-precision astrometry, owing to the key long space-Earth or space-space baselines beyond the Earth’s diameter. China has been actively involved in the development of space VLBI in recent years. This paper briefly summarizes China’s research progress in space VLBI and the development planin future.
