The purpose of this paper is to highlight the current status and prospects for VLBI in the NASA Deep Space Network (DSN). Although the prime purpose of the DSN is to support spacecraft operations and space research in deep space, this unique facility is also used on a noninterference basis with flight projects to support ground-based science experiments. The DSN VLBI capabilities are an integral part of a number of space- and ground-based projects. They include support of experiments at major radio astronomy VLBI networks (e.g., VLBA, EVN, APT), space VLBI co-observing, as well as VLBI geodesy and astrometry programs. The paper will describe for the potential DSN VLBI users 1) DSN VLBI objectives, 2) the current organizational structure and 3) current and projected capabilities.
