DESI: Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument
DESI will measure the effect of dark energy on the expansion of the universe. It will obtain spectra for tens of millions of galaxies and quasars, constructing a 3D map of the universe to 10 billion light years.

BOSS: Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey
The Baryon Oscillation Spectroscopic Survey (BOSS) will map the spatial distribution of luminous red galaxies (LRGs) to detect the scale imprinted by early universe oscillations.
