Deux projets futuristes restent à l'étude : le projet Quasat proposé par la NASA et l'ESA et le projet Radioastron des Russes, qui font tous deux appel à la mise en place d'une antenne en orbite terrestre réalisant une interférométrie avec les antennes sur Terre. Enfin, dans le futur, il n'est pas exclu de voir un jour la mise en place d'un gigantesque interféromètre constitué d'antennes de plusieurs diamètre en orbite dans l'espace.
