IMAP Processing Documentation#
The Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe (IMAP) is an exciting project aimed at studying the interstellar medium and investigating the acceleration mechanisms of particles within our galaxy. IMAP utilizes cutting-edge technology and advanced instrumentation to gather valuable data and expand our understanding of space.
The IMAP Website contains information about the entire mission, including the science goals, the spacecraft, and the instruments. The Science Operations Center (SOC) is responsible for the data processing on the IMAP mission and being developed at LASP (Laboratory of Atmospheric and Space Physics).
To get started with the project: Getting Started.
The explicit code interfaces and structure are described in the Code Documentation.
If you make use of any imap_processing code, please consider citing it in your research.
