摘要：SPIDER is a balloon-borne polarimeter that is designed to measure CMB B-mode polarization.
The experiment is scheduled to launch from Alice Springs, Australia in December of 2009 and
will target large angular scales where the B-mode signal from primordial gravity waves dominates.
In a mid-latitude, around the world, 25 day flight SPIDER will map out roughly 50% of the
sky. The instrument will observe in five freqencies ranging from 80 GHz up to 275 GHz enabling
accurate characterization of the interstellar dust foreground.
