The Institute of Applied Astronomy of the Russian Academy of Sciences (IAA RAS) is constructing the VLBI complex “QUASAR” consisting of six antennas across the former USSR. The complex will be a dedicated instrument for space geodesy and radioastrometry. Three aspects of the “QUASAR” project will be discussed. First, the description of the project and its concept will be presented. Secondly, the current state and problems of constructing the network will be outlined. Finally, some information on the international cooperation will be given.
