Description
I review the status of the Planck satellite and what it should be able to tell us
about cosmology. I discuss the constraints on cosmological parameters, the role of
degeneracies, uses of CMB polarization including constraints on the optical depth and
the prospects for detecting primordial graviational waves. I will also discuss
secondard signals, weak lensing of the CMB and SZ, as well as prospects for improving
cosmological constraints by using Planck in combination with other data sets.
