LiteBIRD

(Light satellite for the studies of B-mode polarization and inflation from cosmic background radiation detection)
(planned spacecraft to map CMB polarization)

LiteBIRD (for Light satellite for the studies of B-mode polarization and inflation from cosmic microwave background detection) is a planned JAXA space mission to map CMB polarization, hoping to identify effects expected to have been produced by primordial gravitational waves. As of 2024, the aim is a launch in 2032.
