"Mobile Analytic Laboratory Probe."  The M.A.L.P. is a remote-controlled exploratory device that is sent through a [[Stargate]] to see what is on the other side before a team from the [[Stargate Command|S.G.C.]] or [[Atlantis]] is sent through.  It is capable of detecting temperature, analyzing oxygen and transmitting video feeds, as well as visually confirming whether or not a [[Dial-home device|D.H.D.]] is present so that a team can dial the Stargate back home.

M.A.L.P.s come in various configurations and equipment.  For example, the original device used when the Earth gate was first activated ran on all-terrain treads, while the newer models used by Stargate Command run on six heavy-duty wheels.
