NASA's newest astronomical satellite, the currently named Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST), has been up in space since June 11. It has finished it's engineering check-up and has now started taking science data. Tomorrow, NASA will hold a press conference at 1 PM ET, which will be stream live here. For more info on GLAST, check out this information page for media members, as well as my interviews with Dr. Julie McEnery, Dr. Dave Thompson, and Dr. Charles Meegan on the different instruments and scientific goals of GLAST. Last, but definitely not least, Dr. Steve Ritz - one of the top astronomers on GLAST - maintains a blog available here with the latest updates. Enjoy!
