Scientific paper

The Large Area Telescope (LAT) on board the Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope discovered a high-energy gamma-ray outburst (characterized by a rapid rise and about five days duration) from a source identified with the blazar PKS 1502+106 (OR 103, S3 1502+10, z = 1.839) starting on August 05, 2008 (MJD 54683.9). The outburst was followed by bright and variable gamma-ray flux over the next few months. A few selected highlights on the Fermi LAT multifrequency campaign on PKS 1502+106 are introduced as an example of the optimal capabilities of Fermi LAT in monitoring cosmic high-energy flares, variability and being an essential companion of multi-waveband studies.
