LiteBIRD (Lite (Light) satellite for the studies of B-mode polarization and Inflation from cosmic background Radiation Detection) is a planned small space observatory that aims to detect the footprint of the primordial gravitational wave on the cosmic microwave background (CMB) in a form of polarization pattern called B-mode.

Nov 9, 2021 · The LiteBIRD mission will aim to detect the primordial B-mode signal through developing a CMB spacecraft with three millimeter-wave polarization-sensitive telescopes installed. The LiteBIRD spacecraft will observe the entire sky for 3 years at the Sun-Earth Lagrangian point L2 in space.

Oct 12, 2021 · LiteBIRD is a compact, lightweight satellite that will measure the “fingertips” of primordial gravitational waves emitted during the cosmic inflation era. The experiment will have three optical telescopes, each covering a portion of the mission's frequency range.

LiteBIRD: Lite (Light) satellite for the studies of B-mode polarization and Inflation from cosmic background Radiation Detection. LiteBIRD is selected as one of 31 highest-priority large projects by the Science Council of Japan. ISAS selects LiteBIRD as the strategic large mission #2!

Jan 29, 2021 · LiteBIRD, the Lite (Light) satellite for the study of B-mode polarization and Inflation from cosmic background Radiation Detection, is a space mission for primordial cosmology and fundamental physics. JAXA selected LiteBIRD in May 2019 as a strategic large-class (L-class) mission, with its expected launch in the late 2020s using JAXA's H3 rocket.

LiteBIRD LiteBIRD is a next generation CMB polarization satellite that is dedicated to probe the inflationary B-mode. The science goal of LiteBIRD is to measure the tensor-to-scalar ratio with the sensitivity of σ r = 0.001. In this way, we test the major large-single-field slow-roll inflation models.

Feb 26, 2019 · LiteBIRD is a candidate satellite for a strategic large mission of JAXA. With its expected launch in the middle of the 2020s with a H3 rocket, LiteBIRD plans to map the polarization of the cosmic microwave background radiation …
