  In February 1997 the Japanese radio astronomy satellite HALCA was launched to
provide the space-borne element for the VSOP mission. HALCA provided linear
baselines three-times greater than that of ground arrays, thus providing higher
resolution and higher AGN brightness temperature measurements and limits.
Twenty-five percent of the scientific time of the mission was devoted to the
``VSOP survey'' of bright, compact, extra-galactic radio sources at 5 GHz. A
complete list of 294 survey targets were selected from pre-launch surveys, 91%
of which were observed during the satellite's lifetime. The major goals of the
VSOP 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
electromagnetic spectrum. All the data collected have now been analysed and is
being prepared for the final image Survey paper. In these papers we present
details of the mission, images of the sources, and some statistics of the
contributions and completeness plus some statistics of the images and
brightness temperatures.
