The VLBI Space Observatory Programme (VSOP) combines an orbiting radiotelescope with arrays of ground radio telescopes to extend the Very Long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) technique to baselines up to almost three Earth diameters. In this paper, we present results from VSOP observations of active galactic nuclei (AGN) at 1.6 and 5 GHz from the first 3.5 years of the mission.
