Abstract
Korean VLBI Network (KVN) is a mm-VLBI network construction project of Korea Astronomy Observatory. During the (first) project period (2001 - 2007), three observatories are going to be constructed at Seoul (Yonsei Univ.), Ulsan (Univ. of Ulsan), and Jeju (Tamna Univ.). All possible baselines and the sites of the observatories are listed in Table 1. Scientific goals are various, e.g. continuum observation of AGNs, of star forming regions, of microquasars, spectroscopy of stars, of star forming regions, and of Galactic centre region as well as geodetic observation. The antenna specifications of KVN are described in Table 2.
