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.
