Summary

DescriptionWMAP orbit.jpg	English: NASA-created illustration of the orbit of the Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe. "This orbit diagram shows the process by which WMAP collects data from the full sky over a six month period. Because WMAP must always face away from the sun, it can not view all portions of the sky until it rotates around the sun at the same rate as the Earth."
