OLIMPO is a high resolution balloon-borne telescope. It will measure the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect in clusters of galaxies during a long-duration flight. OLIMPO will carry out a survey of 40 clusters in four frequency bands centered at 140, 220, 410 and 540 GHz. We describe here the OLIMPO instrument and its scientific goals. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V.

Abstract
OLIMPO is a high resolution balloon-borne telescope. It will measure the Sunyaev-Zeldovich effect in clusters of galaxies during a long-duration flight. OLIMPO will carry out a survey of 40 clusters in four frequency bands centered at 140, 220, 410 and 540 GHz. We describe here the OLIMPO instrument and its scientific goals. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V.
