Description
We present the design of the Binocular Large Area Survey Telescope (BLAST), which is designed to cover the whole sky with 10 sec time resolution. It consists of pairs of cameras covering 1.1% of the sky each. The design, manufacturing, operation and data analysis is discussed. The project is funded by a Villum Eksperiment grant to build the first few prototypes.
