DESCRIPTION:You're Gonna Go Far\, KID: cosmology with superconducting 
 Kinetic Inductance Detectors on balloon- and space-based missions<br>

 \nSub-millimeter astronomy is entering a new frontier. Earth’s atmos
 phere plagues ground-based sub-mm telescopes with high levels of backg
 round radiation\, so astronomers are relocating their instruments to h
 igh-altitude balloons\, and in the near future\, onto satellites. This
  new era of low-background sub-mm astronomy requires highly sensitive 
 detector technologies\, for which we turn to superconductivity. The Ki
 netic Inductance Detector (KID)\, a superconducting microresonator tec
 hnology that has only recently seen its first light\, is being commiss
 ioned for this new generation of instruments. The EXperiment for Cryog
 enic Large-Aperture Intensity Mapping (EXCLAIM)\, led by NASA-Goddard 
 Space Flight Center scientists\, is among the first in this class of i
 nstruments. I will describe the technology behind KIDs designed for EX
 CLAIM\, and the science we plan to accomplish. I will also describe th
 e potential for the use of KIDs in future space missions\, along with 
 the science that can be accomplished with such a low-background\, high
 ly sensitive survey of the cosmos.
