FGST (Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope)
FGST uses a multi-step process that creates photos of the universe using Gamma rays. It is a large space observatory that carries the LAT. (The Large Area Telescope) FGST picks up gamma radiation by using over 880,000 strips of silicon and creates gamma ray photos of the universe by generating little flashes of light that show where the gamma radiation is coming from and how strong it is. By using FGST, scientist are able to discover black holes, supernovas and information about the universe.
FGST was launched on June 11, 2008. It's leading designer and constructor of FGST is Willam B Atwood, who was awarded the Panofsky Prize in Experimental Particle Physics for his work on Fermi.
