Description

The main objective of this long term program is the development of the prototype of a space-based, large area High Resolution Gamma Ray Astrophysics Facility (HR-GRAF) capable of studying diffuse and point-like sources of gamma rays in the 1 MeV to 100 GeV energy range with a high angular and energy resolution, and very large sensitivity. The design of the HR-GRAF will be based on the High Resolution Gamma Ray Telescope (HRGT) developed by the University of Texas at Dallas and University of California, Los Angeles, collaboration for SDIO
