Dr.
Jamie Bock and his Caltech science team have spent several
weeks at Wallops integrating
and testing their instrument.
CIBER will conduct a pioneering search for Infra-Red Background (IRB) anisotropies, and is specifically designed to measure fluctuations at wavelengths and spatial scales where a putative first-light galaxy signal can be best detected and discriminated from foregrounds.
CIBER is scheduled for launch from White Sands Missile Range in New Mexico in June 2008.
