Scientific paper

The scientific objectives of the application software development of the Compton Imaging Telescope (Comptel) project is described and Logica's specific involvement is detailed with respect to scientific, technical, and managerial aspects. Comptel is one of four instruments onboard the Gamma Ray Observatory (GRO), a NASA project, to be launched in March 1991. It will study gamma ray characteristics of point sources, diffuse emission from the galaxy, cosmic diffusion flux and broadened line emissions. It will also determine the direction of arrival as well as the energy of gamma ray photons from 1 to 30 MeV. Logica has played an active part in the writing of software requirements for the subsystems of GRO and subsequently the detailed design, code, test, and integration of these subsystems. Logica's roles include the development of a module calibration subsystem which includes the development of gamma ray burst software and pulsar analysis software both of which are discussed in detail.
