The International VLBI Satellite is under assessment study by the European Space Agency and the USSR Academy of Sciences. The IVS mission is conceived as a second generation space VLBI mission with the goal of providing higher sensitivity, greater maximum resolution and a wider spectral coverage compared to the precursor missions and, in addition, some single-dish capability.
