Scientific paper

The University of Manchester, through Jodrell Bank, was involved in the construction of the two lowest frequency channels of the Low Frequency Instrument (LFI) for the Planck satellite. We have had many years experience of building cryogenically cooled low-noise amplifiers for Cosmic Microwave background experiments on Tenerife, which gave us the heritage to be able to do the same for Planck. I will describe what the aim of the mission was, give a few details of the adventure that was our first involvement in a modern space project, and end with a taster of the astronomical results so far released.
