The LAMBDA Mission
The Legacy Archive for Microwave Background Data Analysis (LAMBDA) is a multi-mission NASA center of
expertise for cosmic microwave background radiation research. LAMBDA exists to serve the CMB research
community, and the greater cosmological research community. In particular, LAMBDA:
- develops and maintains data archives
- develops and maintains data access and analysis tools
- offers scientific expertise on NASA's CMB missions (MAP and COBE)
- carries out data-intensive processing of vital importance to NASA's CMB community
- conducts education and outreach efforts aimed at the general public
There is no cost involved in the use of LAMBDA; however, if your research benefits
from its use, then we request that you include the following acknowledgement
in your publications:
"We acknowledge the use of the Legacy Archive for Microwave Background Data Analysis (LAMBDA).
