RELIKT-1 is a scientific experiment designed to study the cosmic microwave background (CMB) radiation, particularly focusing on the polarization of this ancient radiation. It is a Russian space experiment that aims to detect the signal of gravitational waves from the early universe, which would provide insights into cosmic inflation—a rapid expansion that is theorized to have occurred just after the Big Bang. Launched in 2016, RELIKT-1 operates as a space-based observatory equipped with sensitive radio receivers.
