Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/784785· OSTI ID:784785
GLAST is a Gamma Ray Large Area Space Telescope, which contains a large silicon vertex detector. The construction of the Beam Test Engineering model of GLAST is discussed, along with plans for the future construction of the final instrument. Special attention is placed on what was learned from the silicon tracker construction and the current status of the GLAST tracker.
