AbstractThe satellite-based experiment, GLAST (Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope), is under construction and is planned to measure the cosmic γ-ray flux in the energy range 20MeV to >300GeV, with supporting measurements for γ-ray bursts from 10keV to 25MeV. With its launch in 2007, GLAST will open a new and important window on a wide variety of high-energy phenomena, including exotic relics from the Big Bang. Among these may be the decay/annihilation products of the hypothesized super symmetric image of the known particles. Single-photon energy thresholds for channels leading to such final states have been excluded in a model-dependent manner by accelerator searches to energies greater than 50GeV. The ability of GLAST to set limits on this important component of cosmological evolution is presented along with an update on the present status of this mission.
