title = "CUBIC: Preflight calibration results and initial operations",
abstract = "The Cosmic Unresolved Background Instrument using CCDs ( CUBIC) is currently scheduled for launch on the Argentine/US SAC-B satellite in October 1996. This instrument is designed to perform moderate resolution nondispersive X-ray spectroscopy of the diffuse X-ray background over the band 0.2 -10.0 keV using state-ofthe- art photon-counting CCDs. The instrument is optimized for spectroscopy of diffuse emission with a field of view of approximately 5° x 5° below 1 keV and 1O x 1O above 3 keV. Here we discuss the present state of analysis of our preflight calibration data and present preliminary operational plans.",
