  Planck - Home Page
Planck was selected as the third Medium-Sized Mission (M3) of ESA's Horizon 2000 Scientific Programme, and is today part of its Cosmic Vision Programme.
Planck will provide a major source of information relevant to several cosmological and astrophysical issues, such as testing theories of the early universe and the origin of cosmic structure.
It is planned to launch Planck on 31st July 2008 together with the Herschel satellite.

 ESA - Space Science - Planck overview
Planck is Europe's first mission to study the relic radiation from the Big Bang.
As a consequence, the Planck detectors will have to be highly sensitive and will have to work at temperatures very close to the absolute zero, otherwise their own emission of heat will spoil the measurements.
Planck will be launched in tandem with ESA' Herschel space telescope.

 Planck Surveyor - CBR Anisotropy Satellite
Planck (formerly COBRAS/SAMBA) is an ESA (European Space Agency) mission.
The primary goal of Planck mission is the production of high-sensitivity (one part per million), high-angular resolution (10 arcminutes) maps of the microwave sky and thus of the cosmic microwave background.
The Planck mission is designed to map the sky at multiple frequencies to both measure the CMB anisotropies and the various Galactic and extragalactic foreground emissions.

 Planck Surveyor - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The Planck Surveyor is the third Medium-Sized Mission (M3) of ESA's Horizon 2000 Scientific Programme.
It is designed to image the anisotropies of the Cosmic microwave background Radiation over the whole sky, with unprecedented sensitivity and angular resolution.
After the mission was selected and approved, it was renamed in honor of the German scientist Max Planck (1858-1947), Nobel Prize for Physics in 1918.

 ESA Science & Technology: Planck
Planck is the first European mission to study the birth of the Universe
Planck will help provide answers to one of the most important sets of questions asked in modern science - how did the Universe begin, how did it evolve to the state we observe today, and how will it continue to evolve in the future?
Planck's objective is to analyse, with the highest accuracy ever achieved, the remnants of the radiation that filled the Universe immediately after the Big Bang, which we observe today as the Cosmic Microwave Background.

 Astrophysics
A major element in the future astrophysics research at DSRI will be the study of the anisotropies of the cosmic microwave radiation.
Recently, the institute signed an agreement with ESA for the contribution of the mirror system for the ESA Planck Surveyor mission, now being prepared for launch in 2007.
To compensate for the delays of the SRG project, several projects have been initiated in optical astronomy, many of which prepares for the investigations to be carried out by SRG, INTEGRAL, Planck Surveyor and Rømer.

 Mars Global Surveyor Mission Ends In Triumph
The next possibility for learning more about Mars Global Surveyor's status is a plan to send it a command to use a transmitter that could be heard by one of NASA's Mars Exploration Rovers later this week.
Mars Global Surveyor launched on Nov. 7, 1996, and began orbiting Mars on Sept. 11, 1997.
It pioneered the use of aerobraking at Mars, using careful dips into the atmosphere for friction to shrink a long elliptical orbit into a nearly circular one.
