The CBM experiment will explore dense baryonic matter at moderate temperatures with rare observables that could not be investigated so far for this type of matter. Experiments will be performed at the future FAIR facility with beams from SIS 100 exploring a range in √SNN from 2.3 - 5.3 GeV at interaction rates up to 10 MHz. Within the first few years energy scans in particular for dilepton and fluctuation observables are planned in order to search for the predicted first order phase transition and critical point. The status of the experimental preparations is reviewed in this contribution.
