Since gamma radiation represents the most energetic part of the electromagnetic spectrum it provides information about the most energetic processes and phenomena in the universe. From previous gamma-ray missions we know that the gamma-ray fluxes from cosmic objects are extremely small. In order to make these low fluxes detectable, the telescopes must have large collecting areas, high detection efficiencies, and the exposure times must be long. In so far it is not surprising that the Compton Observatory is the heaviest scientific payload ever brought into space by a shuttle.
