Description

There are several new projects to survey the sky with millimetre eyes, the biggest being Simons Observatory and CMB-S4, in the Southern Hemisphere. The NIKA2 collaboration has acquired a knowledge sufficient to build a large focal plane KID camera for a 15-m antenna. This would allow covering the whole Northern Hemisphere in a couple of years at subarcminute resolution and with milliJansky sensitivity. We describe the main scientific drivers for such a project: the SZ sky, the high-redshift millimetre Universe and the interstellar medium in our Galaxy and the nearby galaxies. Then we show the main difficulties (organisational, technical and financial).
