We present results of the first space VLBI observations of PKS 1921-293. An inner jet component about 1.5 mas north of the core is revealed for the first time. The compact core is partially resolved, but still has a brightness temperature (at the source rest frame) of 3.0×1012 K. A spectral index map made by combining the 1.6 GHz VSOP image with the 5.0 GHz VLBA+Y image at the first epoch is also presented.
