2. GLAST LAT ProjectLAT Operations Planning, 23 March 2005 2 LAT Operations Planning  Purpose of these meetings –manage the ISOC –coordinate activities involving and supporting LAT operations (online and offline) –coordinate resource allocations and resource planning for LAT operations –provide coherent planning for the transition from LAT development and construction phase to operating phase –Parallel the LAT Managers Face to Face meetings, and eventually replace LAT F2F meetings after LAT Project Office closes

3. GLAST LAT ProjectLAT Operations Planning, 23 March 2005 3 Participants  Participants in these meetings –Leads for major elements in the ISOC Online operations: commanding, health and safety Flight Software and Data Flow Lab support PVO + calibration and analysis methods Pipeline processing and delivery of LAT science data Data analysis software and tools –Others as necessary GLAST Project Office Project Science LAT Operations Steering Committee SLAC management

5. GLAST LAT ProjectLAT Operations Planning, 23 March 2005 5 The ISOC in the LAT Collaboration  ISOC has close connections to LAT Science Groups –e.g. Working with Calibration and Analysis Methods Group to incorporate improvements to event reconstruction into ISOC processing and products  ISOC has broad involvement in the LAT collaboration –e.g. instrument performance analysis and tool development are coordinated by the ISOC across the collaboration
