Scientific paper

The Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST) will observe the gamma-ray sky in the MeV and GeV energy range. It will detect a number of gamma-ray bursts (GRBs) every year, depending on their emission at high energies, which is still unknown. GLAST will be the first instrument observing GRBs at energies above 20 GeV. A systematic study prior to launch, which is foreseen for 15 November 2007, was the GLAST Data Challenge 2 (DC 2). For GLAST DC 2 two month of data taking were simulated. Based on these simulations the GRB Working Group performed systematic studies of the performance of GLAST in observing GRBs. These studies included the spectral analysis of the prompt emission, a position fit of the GRB, and the search for prompt and afterglow emissions in the LAT data.
