Abstract
The MAP satellite is currently mapping the entire microwave sky to
unprecedented accuracy and precision from an orbit around the second
Earth-Sun Lagrange point.
The primary goal is to produce high fidelity maps in five frequency bands
spanning from 22 to 94 GHz in order to image the cosmic background
radiation (CMB).
We begin with a description of the instrument and mission,
and then present results from the first data release.
