Goddard Space Flight Center, Princeton University, UCLA, and The University of Chicago are the Science Team institutions that are responsible for the MAP Project.
Goddard and Princeton will work as closely cooperating partners on the procurement and/or fabrication of all flight hardware. UCLA and Chicago will provide additional scientific expertise. All institutions will contribute to the development of the analysis software.
