National Aeronautics and Space Administration November 23, GLAST in the Vision for Exploration Aldridge report science –what is the Dark Matter? potential gamma-ray smoking gun signal –how do processes from sub-nuclear to galactic scales influence and produce large scale structure? gamma rays provide a direct view into Nature’s largest accelerators (supermassive black holes) gamma rays probe cosmological distances Huge leap in key capabilities, including a largely unexplored energy range; great potential for Discovery. Also featured in NAS Quarks with the Cosmos and the Physics of the Universe 2004 Strategic plan: “…GLAST will focus on the most energetic objects and phenomena in the universe…it will also search for Dark Matter candidate particles.”

National Aeronautics and Space Administration November 23, Science Community Involvement GLAST is the top-ranked mission in its category in the National Academy of Sciences 2000 Decadal Survey. GLAST draws together the High Energy Particle Physics and High Energy Astrophysics Communities. a better mission: combining talent, experience, and imagination for innovation. DOE is a partner on the main instrument Strong and active community involvement in all levels of the mission: Science Working Group, Users Committee, Conferences

National Aeronautics and Space Administration November 23, Project Overview Mission Duration: 5 yrs (10 yr goal, budgeted) Orbit: 565 km Circ Launch Vehicle: Delta 7920H-10 Launch Site: CCAS Telemetry: TDRSS S-Band, Ku-Band Launch Date: May 2007 LRD Two GLAST instruments: LAT: 20 MeV – >300 GeV GBM: 10 keV – 25 MeV Large Area Telescope (LAT) Burst Monitor (GBM) e+e+ e–e–  Calorimeter Tracker Grid LAT pair conversion telescope ACD [surrounds 4x4 array of TKR towers] Science Exploration of: Immense Black Hole particle power engines Starlight emission history of the Universe Highest-energy gamma-ray bursts Our Sun as a particle accelerator The new energy window: Particle Dark Matter; other Big Bang relics? New physics?

National Aeronautics and Space Administration November 23, In hardware implementation phase. MCDR was completed the 3 rd quarter CY04. All development phase contractors have been selected and awarded. Implementation Status, Mission Elements Large Area Telescope PI: Prof. Peter Michelson (Stanford); managed at Stanford Linear Accelerator Center (SLAC) Burst Monitor PI: PI: Dr. Charles Meegan (MSFC); Co-PI: Dr. Giselher Lichti (MPE) Spacecraft developer: General Dynamics/Space Astro Space Systems Science Support Center: GSFC

National Aeronautics and Space Administration November 23, GLAST Technical Status Large Area Telescope Spacecraft GLAST Burst Monitor Calorimeter first module ready to ship, others in production. LAT structure delivered. ACD flight structure with flight tiles being integrated. Tracker in production. ~80m 2 of silicon detectors in hand. Primary structure during assembly at GD. NaI qualification detector.BGO qualification detector. GLAST flight hardware is in fabrication.

National Aeronautics and Space Administration November 23, The GLAST mission is well into the fabrication phase. LAT, GBM, and spacecraft assembly complete by the end of CY05. Launch vehicle ATP 1 st quarter CY05. Delivery of the LAT and GBM instruments for observatory integration, spring of Observatory integration spring 2006 through 1 st quarter CY07. Major scientific conference, the First GLAST Symposium, being planned for Launch in May 2007… Science Operations begin within 60 days … the high-energy gamma-ray universe opened up dramatically for exploration.
