GLAST Multiwavelength Update

[Dave Thompson <djt@egret.gsfc.nasa.gov>]

Multiwavelength Colleagues,

It has been quite a while since this mailing list was constructed, 
but this seemed to be an opportune time to exercise it.

Both instruments on GLAST are making excellent progress.

You can see a photo of GLAST Burst Monitor (GBM) hardware at

You can see all 16 towers of the Large Area Telescope (LAT) in place at

The LAT team is continuing with multiwavelength planning.  They have 
produced two documents about this work:

and
http://www-glast.stanford.edu/collab0805/Wednesday/ThompsonMWupdate.pdf

Launch is less than two years away.

I look forward to working cooperatively with many of you during the 
GLAST mission.

Regards,

Dave Thompson
