VLBI Future Committee

The report of the Committee entitled "Mapping the Future of VLBI Science in the U.S." was accepted in August, 2004 by the Directors of MIT Haystack Observatory and NRAO. The report is available in both pdf and gzipped postscript formats. This report considers the exciting scientific future of VLBI in the US, with emphasis on ground-based VLBI, and provides a science and technology plan for the next decade.

We held a series of open meetings during the summer of 2003 to gather input from the astronomical community across the U.S.. Here is a link to the powerpoint presentation that was used to start the Pasadena, Socorro, and Baltimore meetings. The minutes for each meeting can be found below. Participants and affiliations are listed, but we have removed identifiers from the text.
