Map the Galaxy Act of 2290 

United Earth began the Greater Solar System Survey Project in 2100 OTT. The goal was to identify, categorize and determine uses for every bit of celestial real estate in Sol System. This project ran until the formation of the Union in 2222 OTT. The project was be resumed in 2292 as part of the Map the Galaxy Act of 2290.

In 2290, the Union Assembly recognized that it was necessary to map, survey and catalog all usable celestial real estate in the Milky Way Galaxy. Mapping and survey duties were assigned to the Science Corps and cataloging to the Astrographical Society of the Union. A new Science Corps institute was created. The Science Corps Astrographic Institute (SCAI) became the astrographical (mapping and cartographing) department of the Science Corps. SCAI works closely with the Astrographical Society of the Union that creates the Official Union Celestial Object Catalog
