|
|
NASA announced a new name for the mission!
The Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope - named for Enrico Fermi
|
|
|
Keep your eye on www.nasa.gov/glast for our first light information on Tuesday, August 26th!
|
|
|
We're Going to have our First Light Sometime next week...stay tuned!

|
Using information from radio telescopes, the LAT very quickly saw well-known gamma-ray pulsars.
|
|
|
There have been routine detection of gamma-ray bursts by the GBM as instruments keep getting checked out.
|
|
|
The GLAST Burst Monitor Team are Fine-Tuning Instrument and Operations!the story:http://www.nasa.gov/mission_pages/GLAST/news/glast_gbm.html
|
|
|
The LAT updated onboard configurations that control how it operates. We now have a few days of planned pointed observations.
|
|
|
The GLAST Burst Monitor (GBM)started enabling gamma-ray burst (GRB) triggers!
|
|
|
The 60-day checkout period is already entering the home stretch, and routine science operations will start soon.
|
|
|
We recently completed our first month on orbit!
|
|
|
The LAT team was very busy tuning up the instrument and doing detailed data checks. Data taking and processing are becoming routine.
|
|
|
GBM means "GLAST Burst Monitor."
|
|
|
The GBM spent the week doing on-orbit calibrations and setting up the automatic onboard system that maintains the calibration.
|
|
|
Week of July 6th- Early operations continue to go remarkably smoothly and according to plan!
|
|
|
Engineers in Mission Operations at NASA Goddard made adjustments on the rate at which the solar arrays are allowed to charge the battery,
|
|
|
The past few days data have been taken with diff/ values for many of those key parameters.
|
|
|
A few days ago, the GBM rehearsed the burst-alert message chain.
