The Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST) is a high-energy gamma-ray mission for low earth orbit. The gamma-ray detection and measurement of the source direction will be performed by the Silicon Tracker. The Silicon Tracker is a pair-conversion telescope consisting of 36 layers of silicon strip detectors interspersed with 16 layers of tungsten foils, all supported by an innovative carbon-composite structure. A total of 880,000 strips on 80 square meters of silicon will be read out by custom integrated circuits. In this talk the mechanical and electrical designs and performance of the Tracker will be described.
