Relativistic jets in blazars on parsec scales can now be explored with direct imaging at radio wavelengths as well as observations of time variability of flux and linear polarization at various wavebands. The results thus far suggest that the millimeter-wave "core" is usually a standing, conical shock and that the jet plasma is turbulent. Disturbances and turbulent plasma crossing the standing shock can explain much of the observed variability, as well as the appearance of bright knots moving down the jet at superluminal apparent speeds. The core, located parsecs downstream of the central engine, appears to be the site of many of the outbursts observed at optical, X-ray, and γ-ray energies. Rotations in the optical polarization position angle prior to the passage of a knot through the millimeter-wave core provide evidence for helical magnetic fields that accelerate and collimate the jet before turbulence tangles the fields.

Recent observations of the ASCA satellite resulted in the first identification of a GB source (Murakami et al. 1994). This success confirmed the importance of simultaneous observations in different wavelength bands for GB studies. Besides the ASCA results, there were several observations of GBs in X-ray band with the Ginga (Yoshida et al,.1989), V 78/1 (Laros et al. 1984) and other satellites. It became clear that GBs emit 4 - 8% of their energy in the 2 - 10 keV range. The main task now is to have an equipment which will be able to monitor the sky in X-rays in a mode similar to that of GRO observations, i.e. the telescope should have an all-sky field-of-view (FoV) and should work continuously.A telescope with these features but operating at soft X-ray energies may directly determine the GB distance scale, due to interstellar absorption of the photons with energies less than 2 keV, as was pointed out first by Schaefer (1993). Flaring sources similar to GBs in time scale may be found also in the EUV (hundreds of angstroms) with the help of very wide-field cameras. Of course each such device - in X-ray, soft X-ray and EUV bands - will discover many transient objects, flaring events, will study time variability of bright “stationary” sources etc. In this paper we describe several instrumental approaches in these fields.
