Scientific paper

An experiment is proposed which will detect and map the large-angular-scale anisotropies in the 3 deg K primordial black-body radiation with a sensitivity of .0002 deg K and an angular resolution of about 10 deg . It will detect the motion of the earth with respect to the distant matter of the Universe ("Aether Drift"), and will probe the homogeneity and isotropy of the Universe (the "Cosmological Principle"). The experiment will use two Dicke radiometers, one at 33 GHz to detect the cosmic anisotropy, and one at 54 GHz to detect anisotropies in the residual oxygen above the detectors. An upper hatch for the NASA-AMES Earth Survey Aircraft (U-2) is being modified to accept the dual-radiometer system. A few hours of observation should be sufficient to detect an anisotropy.
