我们研制并试飞了直径1米的格里高利望远镜系统，用于测量宇宙背景辐射(CBR)的各向异性。该望远镜安装在气球上的稳定平台上，具有极小的稳定能力。到目前为止，该系统已经飞行了4次，并在南极进行了两次地面观测。该望远镜同时使用了相干探测器和非相干探测器。我们描述了望远镜、指向平台和用于CBR测量的接收器的发展。描述了该系统在南极首次飞行和地面运行的性能，并讨论了南极作为毫米波观测站的质量
We have developed and flown a 1 m diameter Gregorian telescope system for measurements of anisotropy in the Cosmic Background Radiation (CBR). The telescope is incorporated in a balloon-borne stabilized platform with arcminute stabilization capability. To date, the system has flown 4 times and observed from the ground at the South Pole twice. The telescope has used both coherent and incoherent detectors. We describe the development of the telescope, pointing platform, and one of the receivers employed in making measurements of the CBR. Performance of the system during the first flight and operation on the ground at the South Pole are described, and the quality of the South Pole as a millimeter wave observing site is discussed
