Title: Cosmology with the CMB

Journal Article · · International Journal of Modern Physics D

The cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation provides a means to test the standard model of cosmology and determine its parameters with precision. Cosmology has made a great step forward with the observations and discoveries of the COBE satellite. These were followed with a series of observations and progress via balloon-borne and ground-based instrumentation. Now NASA and ESA have selected and approved new space missions: MAP and COBRAS/SAMBA (now named Planck) which may nearly reach the full potential of CMB observations.
