摘要
The radio astronomy satellite HALCA was launched by the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science in 1997 February to participate in Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) observations with arrays of ground radio telescopes. HALCA is the main element of the VLBI Space Observatory Programme (VSOP), a complex international endeavor involving over 25 ground radio telescopes, five tracking stations and three correlators. Simultaneous observations with HALCA's 8 meter diameter radio telescope and ground radio telescopes synthesize a radio telescope over twice the size of the Earth, enabling the highest resolution 1.6 GHz and 5 GHz images to be made.
