Abstract: 
I will describe two experiments now under development to observe the 
CMB.   MSAM2 (Medium-Scale Anisotropy Measurement) promises to constrain
 the presence of the first Doppler peak in the CMB power spectrum.
The second, called POLAR, aims at detecting polarization at large
angular scales, primarily as a test of the ionization history of the
Universe.
