GLAST Launch At 12:05 p.m. EDT, the Delta II rocket easily lifted the GLAST spacecraft off the launch pad, out of smoke and clouds and into a beautiful Florida sky headed for space. GLAST is now on its own with its solar arrays deployed and placed into a circular orbit 350 miles above the Earth, prepared to monitor the universe and the mysterious gamma-ray bursts.

GLAST Spacecraft Lauch The Delta II rocket easily lifted the GLAST spacecraft off the launch pad, out of the smoke and clouds and into a beautiful clear-blue Florida sky headed for space. GLAST is a powerful space observatory that will open a wide window on the universe. Gamma rays are the highest-energy form of light, and the gamma-ray sky is spectacularly different from the one we perceive with our own eyes. With a huge leap in all key capabilities, GLAST data will enable scientists to answer persistent questions across a broad range of topics, including supermassive black-hole systems, pulsars, the origin of cosmic rays, and searches for signals of new physics.

GLAST Launch At 12:05 p.m. EDT on 11th June 2008, the Delta II rocket easily lifted the Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope (GLAST) spacecraft off the launch pad, out of smoke and clouds and into a beautiful Florida sky headed for space. The second firing of the second-stage engine was confirmed as was successful spacecraft separation. Applause rippled through the launch control center as separation confirmation was received. GLAST is now on its own with its solar arrays deployed and placed into a circular orbit 350 miles above the Earth, prepared to monitor the universe and the mysterious gamma-ray bursts. GLAST is a powerful space observatory that will explore the most extreme environments in the universe, and search for signs of new laws of physics and what composes the mysterious dark matter, explain how black holes accelerate immense jets of material to nearly light speed, and help crack the mysteries of the staggeringly powerful explosions known as gamma-ray bursts. With high sensitivity GLAST is the first imaging gamma-ray observatory to survey the entire sky every day. It will give scientists a unique opportunity to learn about the ever-changing universe at extreme energies. GLAST will detect thousands of gamma-ray sources, most of which will be supermassive black holes in the cores of distant galaxies. Tags: GLAST Launch Liftoff |

GLAST launch June 11, 2008 - 12:05 p.m. EDT: The Delta II rocket easily lifted the GLAST spacecraft off the launch pad, out of the smoke and clouds and into a beautiful clear-blue Florida sky headed for space. Main engine cutoff and fairing jettison will take place in about 5 minutes. After a 57-minute coast period, second engine cutoff occurs and soon after the spacecraft will separate and in the best orbit to view the solar system. Tags: GLAST Delta II launch |
