WMAP was a spacecraft designed to make us learn about the Cosmic Microwave Background of the Universe. It has a predecessor, COBE, which was launch on a Delta 5000 rocket. It also had a succesor, the Planck Spacecraft, which was launched in an Ariane 5.
Also the Solar Panels are on the back of the spacecraft when extended, so after you make 3 phasing loops around and a flyby of the moon, you burn to get the correct height of your orbit, then face 90° up to make the solar panels make some energy for the craft. It also has my new PAM-D and spin table, and they can be your subassembly when you remove WMAP from the PAM-D interstage, then detach the electric motor from the second stage (make sure the electric motor is still attached to the fuel tank with the interstage) then save it as a subassembly. Also the Delta II isn't mine.
Facts:
WMAP stands for Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe.
There are 3 other names for it, MAP (Microwave Anisotropy Probe), MIDEX-2 and Explorer 80.
MAP was the original name for it but then David Todd Wilkinson died about a year after it's launch so they changed the Probe name from MAP to WMAP to honor him after him helping on building this craft. The second and third pictures shown have my previous version of the spin table. Now you will see a new version if you look in the fairing after you download it.
