Abstract
We present a progress report on MERLIN radio imaging of a radio outburst from GRS 1915+105. The major ejection occurred at the end of an approximately 20-day `plateau' state, characterised by low/hard X-ray fluxes and a relatively strong flat-spectrum radio component. Apparent superluminal motions have been mapped with unprecedented resolution, and imply higher velocities in the jet than previously derived.
