At Last GLAST
Rising through a billowing cloud of smoke, a Delta II rocket left Cape Canaveral Air Force Station on June 11, 2008. Snug in the payload section was GLAST, the Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope. GLAST's detector technology was developed for use in terrestrial particle accelerators. From orbit, GLAST can detect gamma-rays from extreme environments above Earth and across the distant Universe.
