Abstract
The blazar CTA 102 underwent a major radio flare in April 2006. We used
several 15 GHz VLBI observations from the MOJAVE program to investigate
the influence of this extreme event on jet kinematics. The result of
modeling and analysis lead to the suggestion of an interaction between
traveling and standing shocks 0.2 mas away from the VLBI core.
