GLAST, the Gamma-Ray Large Area Space Telescope, is scheduled to be launched soon, and as tradition has it, will be named to something less bureaucratic when/if successfully (don't want to jinx it) deployed. One example is the Chandra X-ray Observatory, which before launch was named "Advanced X-ray Astrophysics Facility", or AXAF for short. Well, NASA is open to suggestions for renaming GLAST, and you can submit your entry here. I'd be curious to read what you suggested and why, so feel free to leave your entry below or email it to me. Thanks a lot, and good luck!
