Description : (La description de cette image n'existe qu'en anglais)
(06/19/2001) -- At Launch Complex 17-B, Cape Canaveral Air Force Station, the canister is removed from the Microwave Anisotropy Probe (MAP). Launch of MAP via a Boeing Delta II rocket is scheduled for June 30. The launch will place MAP into a lunar-assisted trajectory to the Sun-Earth for a 27-month mission. The probe will measure small fluctuations in the temperature of the cosmic microwave background radiation to an accuracy of one millionth of a degree. These measurements should reveal the size, matter content, age, geometry and fate of the universe. They will also reveal the primordial structure that grew to form galaxies and will test ideas about the origins of these primordial structures
