1 Peter F. Michelson Stanford University Principal Investigator, Large Area Telescope Collaboration peterm@stanford.edu on behalf of the GLAST LAT Collaboration and the GLAST mission August 26, 2008

2 LAT does complete sky scan every 3 hours Shown here: initial all- sky exposure done in 4 days, achieved EGRET 1 year source sensitivity Orthographic projection: sky projected onto surface of a sphere

3 entire sky projected onto a flat map

4

5 –The Large Area Telescope (LAT), designed and built by an International Collaboration from the United States, France, Italy, Japan, and Sweden, is fully operational. –In just a few days, the LAT has already corroborated many of the great discoveries of EGRET and AGILE; finding new sources as well; –Undoubtedly, the most exciting is yet to come as we start the all-sky survey phase and with time probe deeper and deeper into the high-energy Universe An important window of discovery on our Galaxy and the Universe beyond is now wide open.
