The VSOP Survey Program will observe a complete survey of flat-spectrum sources at 5 GHz. In order to determine which of the sample sources are strong and small enough to be detected with VSOP, a pre-launch survey of 377 continuum sources north of δ > −43° was conducted at 5 GHz with the VLBA over 24 hours in June 1996. About 250 of the sources had correlated flux densities ≥ 0.4 Jy between MK–SC and have been included in the VSOP survey sample.
