Cim: Planck:imaging anisotropies and the polarisation of the
cosmic microwave background.

Abstract:
Planck is the European Space Agency's mission to obtain an all sky 
image of the anisotropies in the Cosmic Microwave Background with a 
resolution as small as 5 arcmin and with a sensitivity set by the sky 
backgrounds. The satellite will be launched in 2007. Planck is 
equipped with two instruments based on different detector 
technologies, to cover the sky in 9 frequency bands ranging from 30 to 
850 GHz, 7 of which have polarisation detection capabilities. An 
overview will be given of the spacecraft, its payload and the 
envisaged operations, in the light of the present status of the 
development. The scientific capabilities of Planck will be 
unprecedented enabling the study of fundamental cosmological 
questions. I will discuss the present status of the observational 
cosmology and the envisaged contribution by Planck.
