Scientific paper

The Gamma-Ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST) is scheduled for launch in Fall 2007. Its main instrument, the Large Area Telescope (LAT), is complemented by the GLAST Burst Monitor (GBM) for one of the major scientific objectives of the GLAST mission. Together, the instruments provide unprecedented coverage of gamma-ray bursts in the 10 keV to 300 GeV energy range. GBM consists of 12 NaI and 2 BGO detectors. It has now been built, tested, and delivered to SpectrumAstro in Arizona, where it is being integrated with the spacecraft and the LAT.
