====== Balloon-borne Large-Aperture Submillimeter Telescope (BLAST) ======
BLAST incorporates a 2-m primary mirror with large-format bolometer arrays operating at ''250'', ''350'' and ''500'' microns.
BLAST provides surveys from ''0.8'' to ''200'' deg2 at a resolution of ''30'', ''42'' and ''60'' arcseconds.
The units of the HEALPix maps are ''MJy/sr''.\\
