COSMOCal Collaboration

The project is led by A. Ritacco (Principal investigator), P. Morfin (Project manager) and F. Boulanger (Project scientist). It involves scientists and engineers from five institutes in the region of Paris: APC, IAP, IAS, Paris Observatory, and LPENS; four institutes: LPSC, IPAG, Institut Néel, and IRAM in Grenoble and IRAP in Toulouse. COSMOCal is also supported by the Centre Spatial Universitaire de Grenoble (CSUG) and the Centre pour les Nanosatellites en Sciences de l'Univers (CENSUS) in Paris. In Italy, researchers from the observatory of astrophysics and space science (OAS) and the astronomical observatory of Cagliari (OAC) as part of the national institute of astrophysics (INAF), together with the University of Milano-Bicocca, Rome Tor Vergata and Sapienza University contribute to the project. These research institutes have experience with ground and space instrument design and development, microwave observations from the ground and space, and CMB data analysis.
