A scintillating fiber sampling calorimeter telescope (SSCT(SF)) is proposed which is to be operated on board a satellite for the observation of cosmic gamma rays ranging from 200 MeV to 200 GeV. The idea of SSCT(SF) is based on the experience in developing a Si(Li)/Pb sampling calorimeter telescope (SSCT(Si)); SSCT(SF) replaces the Si detectors in SSCT(Si)by scintillating fibers. Some key parameters of SSCT(Si) are given. SSCT(SF) is now under development. From a preliminary test, we expect that the angular resolution of SSCT(SF) is, at worst, almost the same as SSCT(Si), and the energy resolution could be better than 30 percent at 1 GeV. Probably almost the same energy resolution is obtainable. An effective area of one order of magnitude larger than the EGRET can be attained at low cost.
