Dear Mahiko,

     Thanks for the reminder about the talk on Thursday.  Can you remind me

GLAST:  The Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope mission

The Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST) is a next-generation
high-energy gamma-ray observatory designed to make observations of sources
of celestial gamma-rays over the range from 20 MeV to more than 100 GeV.
GLAST relies on a gamma-ray pair conversion telescope to achieve a wide
field-of-view and imaging capability.  In this talk, an overview of the
scientific program planned for the GLAST mission will be presented.  The
GLAST instrument concept based on the use of silicon microstrip technology
for the pair tracking system will also be described along with tests of a
prototype system.
