The team's major effort currently is in the definition of the instrumental specifications and requirements for the Russian Astro-Space Centre mission Millimetron. This extremely challenging mission proposes to improve the Event Horizon Telescope results by increasing the frequency by 50% and locating one antenna in space for joint observations with ground telescopes. Both of these two aspects introduce huge challenges, that can only be overcome with innovative observational and analysis methods.
