GammaSIG
Purpose
The
goal of
GammaSIG
is to provide quantitative metrics and assessments to NASA in regard to current and future needs of hard X-ray and gamma-ray astrophysics community. Specifically, the
GammaSIG
will:
Act as a focal point and forum for the
hard X-ray and gamma
ray community.
T
o organize
telecons
to discuss recent science results and current and future missions
Maintain a list of technology needs for future hard X-ray and gamma-ray missions.
Produce suggestions to help support the specific needs of this unique community: organizational, scientific, funding
.
