Abstract
The ARGO program consists of a balloon-borne mm and sub-mm telescope, devoted to the observation of diffuse radiation in the wavelength rang e between 2 mm and 300 mum, at angular scales between 10' and 5-degree s. We review here the impact of such observations in different fields ranging from Atmospheric Physics to Cosmology. We also quote the resul ts obtained from ARGO's first flight in 1989, and we describe the impr oved version of ARGO we are currently developing.
