Member Pages for the GTN
On this page you will find information of interest to current members of the GTN. This page will be updated from time to time,
especially if we have an event like a multiwavelength campaign occurring. During such times you might want to check back here for
updates and other information.

For continuing news about GLAST, see the GLAST NASA
Portal page. Some highlights will be posted below.
Current News
- 3 August, 2008 GLAST had a small glitch on August 1, with incorrect temperatures being reported for the LAT. This
caused the LAT to be shut down. The timing was unfortunate, as it coincided with the first multi-wavelength AGN campaign. However,
the problem was corrected and observations were resumed on Saturday, 8/2. The campaign continues.
- 13 June, 2008 After its perfect launch on the 11th, GLAST is continuing to behave perfectly as it settles into
its orbit. Solar cells and other systems are being turned on, and none have given any indications of problems. Science operation are
set to begin approximately 60 days after the launch, so we should begin collecting gamma-ray photons starting around mid August. Check
the GLAST web site at NASA Goddard Space Flight Center for additional information.
- 29 February, 2008 There is now a Facebook group for the GTN. If you are on
Facebook you can join the group and use it to collaborate with other GTN members and to keep up to date with GTN happenings. Use the
link in the Applications box, in the upper left of your Facebook home page. This is an experiment to see if we can use some of the
highly touted Web 2.0 technology that is available. It is also strictly voluntary. GTN members need only join the Facebook group if
they wish to.
