RadioAstron provides the first true full-polarization capabilities for space VLBI observations on baselines longer than the Earth diameter. We present the results of more than three years of RadioAstron observations, obtained as part of our Key Science Program to study the innermost regions of AGN jets and their magnetic fields at the highest angular resolutions achieved to date.
