Scientific paper

The Gamma Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST) is a >8000 cm2 effective area (at >1 GeV) pair conversion telescope using silicon strip detectors that is scheduled to be launched in the year 2005. GLAST will record photons from 20 MeV to 300 GeV with a point spread function of .4° at 1 GeV. Because of its large effective area, almost 2π solid angle of view, and long experimental life (no expendables), GLAST will accumulate ~50 times more photons than EGRET (2) from any point in the sky. The collaboration presently consists of both astro and particle physicists from 28 international institutions.
