The Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope (FGRST), formerly known as the Gamma Ray Large Area Space Telescope, is a follow-on to Compton launched on 11 June 2008. [18] FGRST is more narrowly defined, and much smaller; it carries only one main instrument and a secondary experiment, the Large Area Telescope (LAT) and the Gamma-ray Burst Monitor (GBM).
NASA marked the upcoming 25th anniversary of the Hubble Space Telescope's launch with a flurry of social media posts heralding the historic mission on Saturday.
