Fermi is a Gamma-ray Space Telescope. This is formerly known as GLAST. Fermi helps researchers study high energy particles to determine what is happening in and around black holes. This is an improvement on other land based particle accelerators. NASA has teamed up with the U.S. Department of Energy and institutions in France, Germany, Japan, Italy and Sweden. General Dynamics was chosen to build the spacecraft. Fermi was launched June 11, 2008.
