Abstract
Space fringes were hard to find, but solutions were found near the single good point in the DQA1. I speculate that the poor nature of the phases for VSOP represent the quality of the solution.

However with these few baselines, a complicated model was not needed. A simple gaussian was the final model.

0202+149 matches (to 0.1 Jy) the observations of two days before. (VS07T)

Comments on Difmap processing
J0042+23: two points sources and a single gaussian were tried. The single was preferred. B0202+149: Matches the VS07T experiment values. No modelfit possible (single baseline).
