The International RadioAstron Mission ­ a Earth-Space Interferometer with orbit up to 350 000 km
The RadioAstron Project is designed by the Astro Space Center of the P.N. Lebedev Physical Institute of the Russian Academy of Science, and the S.A. Lavochkin Federal Research & Production Association, Roscosmos in cooperation with numerous Russian and international organizations. Preliminary launch time - 2011. The goal of the project is to carry out investigations of various types of astrophysical objects of the Universe with an unprecedent high angular resolution in the centimeter and decimeter wavelength bands. Such resolution is attained by the 10 m Space Radio Telescope (on-board of the Spacecraft Spectr-R) working together with the largest ground radio telescopes in the interferometer mode.

Parameters of the Orbit
Period (variable) Major semi-axis 7 - 10 days. 189 000 km. 51.6°. From 10 000 to 70 000 km.
