Description
PICO is a probe-class space mission that will be considered for implementation by the US Astro2020 decadal panel. Probe-class missions have a cost window of $400M-$1000M. The mission is designed to give a next-decade millimeter/sub-millimeter survey of the sky in intensity and polarization with depth equivalent to more than 3000 Planck missions. I will describe the science objectives of the mission, the hardware implementation, and the forthcoming steps in its evaluation toward implementation.
