Abstract: Here follows a preliminary report on the construction of fake millimeter and submillimeter skies, as observed by virtual instruments, eg the COBRA/SAMBA mission, using theoretical modeling and data extrapolations Our goal is to create maps as realistic as possible of the relevant physical contributions which may contribute to the detected signals This astrophysical modeling is followed by simulations of the measurement process itself by a given instrumental configuration This will enable a precise determination of what can and cannot be achieved with a particular experimental configuration, and provide a feedback on how to improve the overall design It is a key step on the way to define procedures for the separation of the different physical processes in the future observed maps Note that this tool will also prove useful in preparing and analyzing current (eg balloon borne) Microwave Background experiments
