A space VLBI satellite is planed to be launched in 1995 by the Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS), Japan. Together with this satellite, a worldwide collaborative project named the VLBI Space Observatory Program (VSOP) is under developed. Although the project is oriented to imaging mission for compact cores of active galactic nuclei and maser sources, it will open new aspect on all of VLBI applications. The basic design and parameters of VSOP project are reviewed.
