Operations support and science data processing for the Large Area Telescope (LAT) instrument on the Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST) will be provided by the LAT Instrument Science Operations Center (ISOC) at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC). The ISOC supports GLAST mission operations in cooperation with other GLAST mission ground system elements and supports the science activities of the LAT collaboration.
The ISOC will be responsible for monitoring the health and safety of the LAT, preparing command sequences for the LAT, maintaining and updating embedded flight software which controls the LAT detector and data acquisition flight hardware, maintaining the LAT configuration and calibration, and applying event reconstruction processing to downlinked LAT data to recover information about detected gamma-ray photons. The SLAC computer farm will be used to process the large volume of LAT event data and generate science products to be made available to the LAT collaboration through the ISOC and to the broader scientific community through the GLAST Science Support Center at GSFC. Science operations in the ISOC will optimize the performance of the LAT and oversee automated science processing of LAT data to detect and monitor transient gamma-ray sources. We describe the use of collaboration-wide data challenges to test and exercise LAT data processing before launch.
