Radioastronomy can use space technology either to go close to the source of the radioemission to increase the sensitivity of the observations and have different viewing geometry, or to avoid the effect of the Earth’s environment, i.e. to extend the useful frequency range below the ionospheric cut-off of a few megahertz and at submillimeter wavelengths. A third field which will certainly develop in the future is the use of space to increase the spatial resolution of radio-interferometry for imaging radiosources.
