Physics

Scientific paper

The Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST) is the next orbiting high-energy gamma-ray mission, scheduled for launch by NASA in September 2006. The GLAST Observatory will have two scientific instruments: (1) the Large Area Telescope (LAT), an imaging, wide field-of-view telescope sensitive to radiation over the energy range from 20 MeV to more than 300 GeV, and (2) the GLAST Burst Monitor(GBM), sensitive to transient bursts from 10 keV to 25 MeV. The LAT, a pair-conversion telescope, is jointly sponsored by the Department of Energy and NASA and is being developed by an international collaboration from the United States, France, Italy, Japan, and Sweden. The broad range of scientific questions that can be addressed by GLAST, with sensitivity more than 40 times better than that of EGRET, will be described. The status of the GLAST mission development will also be summarized.
