Excerpt: The Balloon-borne Large Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (BLAST) is a submillimeter telescope that hangs from a high altitude balloon. It has a 2 meter primary mirror that directs light into bolometer arrays operating at 250, 350, and 500 um. These arrays were developed for the SPIRE instrument on the Herschel Space Observatory. The project is carried out by a multi-university consortium headed by the University of Pennsylvania and the University of Toronto which also includes Brown University, the University of Miami, the University of British Columbia, JPL, INAOE, and Cardiff University.

Paul is the brother of cosmologist Mark Devlin, Principal Investigator of the BLAST project. ...More: http: //booksllc.net/?id=211049
