Abstract

In Fall of 2006 first light was achieved at 3 mm on the Robert C. Byrd Green Bank Telescope (GBT) using a Superconducting Quantum Interference Device (SQUID)-multiplexed, Transition-Edge Supercomducting (TES) bolometer array. This instrument---the Multiplexed Squid/Tes Array for Ninety Gigahertz, or MUSTANG---was designed and built by the University of Pennsylvania, NASA/GSFC, NIST, and NRAO. We describe the instrument, results from first light observations on the GBT, subsequent progress in the laboratory, and plans for the future.
