The scientific goal of the project is to obtain the capability to rapidly observe the epoch of early star formation in the universe, manifested in the reradiated thermal emission from dusty, high-redshift ultra luminous galaxies. This project will support the commissioning and early science operations of the a 2 millimeter wavelength bolometer camera that is optimized to efficiently observe the high-redshift galaxies without requiring excellent weather conditions. The instrument will be installed on a 30 meter telescope on Pico Veleta in Spain. Results from these observations will feed directly into the science programs of the future James Webb Space Telescope and the Atacama Large Millimeter Array.

该项目的科学目标是获得快速观测宇宙早期星星形成时期的能力，这表现在尘埃、高红移超亮星系的再辐射热发射。该项目将支持2毫米波长测辐射热计相机的调试和早期科学操作，该相机经过优化，可以在不需要良好天气条件的情况下有效地观察高红移星系。该仪器将安装在西班牙皮科韦莱塔的30米望远镜上。这些观测结果将直接输入未来的詹姆斯韦伯太空望远镜和阿塔卡马大型毫米波阵列的科学计划。
