The Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST) exploits particle physics detector technology to study gamma-rays from tens of MeVs to hundreds of GeVs originating in the cosmos. The detector consists of a pre-shower tracker (to measure pair conversion electrons) followed by a calorimeter. GLAST will locate sources with arc-minute precision over 2.5 steradians solid angle and give a typical single photon energy resolution of <10%. The Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST) Project
