I briefly review some of the main scientific outputs expected from the upcoming Planck mission. Planck will map the CMB sky with 5' resolution and mu K sensitivity, with minimal foreground contribution and superb control on systematics. It will collect the entire information enclosed in the temperature primary anisotropy signal and will also get a good measurement of the polarized component of the CMB. This will have profound implications on our knowledge of the physics of the early universe and on the determination of cosmological parameters. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

Abstract
I briefly review some of the main scientific outputs expected from the upcoming Planck mission.

It will collect the entire information enclosed in the temperature primary anisotropy signal and will also get a good measurement of the polarized component of the CMB. This will have profound implications on our knowledge of the physics of the early universe and on the determination of cosmological parameters. (c) 2006 Elsevier B.V.
