It is the lead on the Large Area Telescope (LAT). Peter Michelson is the LAT Principal Investigator. Stanford managed the LAT and hosts the Instrument Science Operations Center (ISOC) at the Stanford Linear Accelerator Center. The ISOC is where all the raw data from the LAT is processed and made ready for scientific analysis. The data is sent to the GLAST Science Support Center at NASA GSFC from where it is distributed to the scientific community.
