The GLAST proposal is based on silicon strip detectors as the "technology of choice" for space application: no consumables, no gas volume, robust (versus fragile), long lived, and self-triggerable. The GLAST detector basically has two components: a tracking module preceding a calorimeter. The tracking module has planes of crossed strip (x,y) 300 μm pitch silicon detectors coupled to a thin radiator to measure the coordinates of converted electron-positron pairs. The status is discussed including details on triggering the instrument, the organization of the detector electronics and readout, and work on computer simulations to model this instrument.
