> Abstract
>
> The 10-meter space radio telescope Spektr-R was successfully launched
> on July 18, 2011, and unfurled several days later. The space element
> of the ground-space VLB interferometer RadioAstron covers four
> frequency bands from 0.3 to 25 GHz and provides baselines up to
> 350,000 km. This will allow to study space objects with a resolution
> as high as about 10 microarcsecond. In-orbit tests of the space craft
> are finished, first fringes are found at all four bands of 92, 18, 6,
> and 1.3 cm. Current status of the mission and plans to move to the
> open sky phase by 2013 will be discussed. Science objectives and first
> results of the RadioAstron early science program will be presented.
