[Moonman62]

Do you know if this instrument has been launched yet, and when it is scheduled to start producing useful data?

Launched successfully and should reach L2 and start data collecting at the end of the month. It'll take nine months to get a complete full sky survey. MAP will be real good for temperature sensitivity, but only mediocre when compared to Maxima and Boomerang for angular resolution.

Excellent.

Thanx.
