Scientific paper

An 8-mm radiometer system with a degenerate parametric amplifier was launched on the high-apogee (700,000 km) Prognoz 9 satellite in July 1983 to map the large-scale anisotropy of the cosmic background radiation. Early results indicate that the amplitude of the dipole and any quadrupole component is measurable to .1-mK rms accuracy, and by the end of the experiment the error should be lower. With 95 percent confidence the strip of sky investigated thus far exhibits no quadrupole component above the 0.2-mK level.
