Scientific paper

The Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope, GLAST, is a mission to measure the cosmic gamma-ray flux in the energy range 20 MeV to > 300 GeV, with supporting measurements for gamma-ray bursts from 8 keV to 30 MeV. With its launch in late 2007, GLAST will open a new and important window on a wide variety of high-energy phenomena, including black holes and active galactic nuclei, gamma-ray bursts, the origin of cosmic rays and studies of supernova remnants, and searches for hypothetical new phenomena. Along with the major science questions for GLAST, this talk will include the mission status, operations plans, and the opportunities for Guest Investigators.
