The VLBI Space Observatory Programme (VSOP) is a Japanese-led project to image radio sources at 1.6 and 5 GHz with a linear resolution three-times greater than with ground arrays at these frequencies (Hirabayashi et al. 1998). The satellite is now devoted to a survey of bright, small-diameter extra-galactic radio sources at 5 GHz, the VSOP survey. The major goals of this survey are statistical in nature: to determine the brightness temperature and approximate structure; to provide a source list for use with future space VLBI missions; and to compare radio properties with other data throughout the electro-magnetic spectrum. The current status and early results are presented.
