Help NASA name their new Space Telescope

NASA is inviting members of the general public from around the world to suggest a new name for the Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope, otherwise known as GLAST, before it launches in mid-2008. GLAST is designed to probe the most violent events and exotic objects in the cosmos from gamma-ray bursts to black holes and beyond.

To submit a suggestion for the mission name, visit: http://glast.sonoma.edu/glastname

Anyone who drops a name into the “Name That Satellite!” suggestion box on the Web page can choose to receive a “Certificate of Participation” via return e-mail. Participants also may choose to receive the NASA press release announcing the new mission name. The announcement is expected approximately 60 days after launch of the telescope.
