These are both far-infrared deep space ESA missions due to be launched in 2007. The Planck Surveyor will probe the early Universe making sensitive measurements of the Cosmic Microwave Background. On this project we work closely with Queen Mary and Westfield College, University of London. The exquisite sensitivity of Planck measurements will have a revolutionary impact on the science of Cosmology. We are also taking part in a separate international research contract funded by the ESA, the aim of the programme being to evaluate optical design strategies appropriate to space missions.
Opportunities exist in the group at both the graduate student and post-doctoral level.
