What Does COBRAS Stand For?

COBRAS stands for Cosmic Background Radiation Anisotropy Satellite

COBRAS, or Cosmic Background Radiation Anisotropy Satellite, is a specialized scientific satellite designed to study the anisotropies in the Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) radiation. By measuring variations in temperature and polarization of the CMB, COBRAS aims to provide critical insights into the early universe, including the understanding of cosmic inflation, the formation of large-scale structures, and the fundamental properties of dark matter and dark energy. The mission enhances our comprehension of the universe's evolution and the fundamental physics governing it.
