Abstract

The ground-space interferometer "RadioAstron" observes quasars, galactic nuclei, cosmic masers and pulsars with the highest angular resolution at decimeter and centimeter wave lengths. To date, the record breaking angular resolution of 8 microarcseconds has been achieved at 1.35 cm. The 3 years long life time requirement is exeeded by more than 2 times. The international ground-space observatory “RadioAstron” has been created, it includes the Space Radio Telescope (SRT) “Spektr-R” and more than 60 ground telescopes. Thanks to its successful operations, new important scientific discoveries are made. Ground facilities alone are not capable to address such problems. Main technical parameters and the current status of the SRT after 7 years of its operations are discussed and summarized.

AB  - The ground-space interferometer "RadioAstron" observes quasars,
galactic nuclei, cosmic masers and pulsars with the highest angular
resolution at decimeter and centimeter wave lengths. To date, the
record breaking angular resolution of 8 microarcseconds has been
achieved at 1.35 cm. The 3 years long life time requirement is
exeeded by more than 2 times. The international ground-space
observatory “RadioAstron” has been created, it includes the Space
Radio Telescope (SRT) “Spektr-R” and more than 60 ground telescopes.
Thanks to its successful operations, new important scientific
discoveries are made. Ground facilities alone are not capable to
address such problems. Main technical parameters and the current
status of the SRT after 7 years of its operations are discussed and
summarized.
