Abstract

The current design of the Sky Polarization Observatory (SPOrt) experiment is presented. SPOrt scientific objectives are shortly discussed as they have been revised during two years of activities since the original idea of SPOrt was presented. Major changes regard observed frequency range, covering now the 22-90 GHz interval, as well as the number of channels, which has been increased to four. The new configuration adds the measurement of the Cosmic Microwave Polarization to the SPOrt scientific goals
