The Space Interferometry Mission (SIM) will be NASA's first space-based optical interferometer designed for precision astrometry.
We present thirty VLBI images of the Tev blazar Markarian 421 (1101+384) at fifteen epochs spanning the time range from 1994 to 1997, and at six different frequencies form 2.3 to 43 GHz.
The Space Interferometry Mission (SIM) will be the NASA Origins Program's first space based long baseline interferometric observatory.

The Space Interferometry Mission (SIM) is designed as a space-based optical interferometer operating in the visible waveband. This mission will open up many areas of astrophysics, via astrometry with unprecedented accuracy during its 5-year mission.
We present Hubble Space Telescope (HST) imagery, and ground-based spectroscopy and CCD photometry of the active galaxy Markarian 421 and its companion galaxy 14 arcsec to the ENE.
A radio interferometer array in space providing high dynamic range images with unprecedented angular resolution over the broad frequency range from 0.030 - 30 MHz will open new vistas in solar, terrestial, galactic, and extragalactic astrophysics.
In this paper we will present selected topics from the SIM science program focusing on some specific astronomical questions to be addressed.

The prospects for global astrometric measurements with the space interferometry mission (SIM) are discussed. The SIM mission will perform four microarcsec astrometric measurements on objects as faint as 20 mag using the optical interferometry technique with a 10 m baseline. The SIM satellite will perform narrow angle astrometry and global astrometry by means of an astrometric grid. The sensitivities of the SIM global astrometric performance and the grid accuracy versus instrumental parameters and sky coverage schemes are reported on. The problems in finding suitable astrometric grid objects to support microarcsec astrometry, and related ground-based observation programs are discussed.
In this paper we will discuss the prospects for global astrometric measurements with the Space Interferometry Mission (SIM). SIM will perform four microarcsecond astrometric measurements onpoint-like objects as dim as 20th magnitude using optical interferometric techniques with a 10m baseline.
The Space Interferometry Mission (SIM) is NASA's first space science interferometer, and will enable fundamental new discoveries in both galactic and extra-galactic astronomy, including cosmic distance scale...It demonstrates several key technologies...
