Abstract
We describe a balloon-borne telescope, optimized for observations of t he Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) anisotropies in the mm wavelength region, at angular scales around 1-degrees. We stress the scientific motivations for these measurements and the problematics driving the ex periment design. Using large throughput bolometers cooled at 0.3K we h ave a sensitivity high enough to detect CMB anisotropies at level DELT AT/T approximately 10(-5) in few seconds of integration time.
