Description:
Be the first to tell your friends and family you helped name the satellite that will give new insight into the nature of the universe. Help NASA with naming the cutting edge Gamma-ray Large Area Space Telescope, otherwise known as GLAST, observatory before it launches in mid-2008. The satellite will observe some of the most energetic sources of radiation in the universe.  The name can be no longer than 30 characters and also must include an explanation of no more than 25 words for each suggestion. 
When coming up with your suggestion, please consider the following: - The deadline for submissions is March 31, 2008.
- The name should capture the excitement of GLAST’s mission, bringing attention to gamma rays and high-energy astronomy.
- The name should be catchy, something that people will talk about.
- Make it simple and easy to say. Nothing says complex and inaccessible like a mouthful of acronyms.
- In keeping with NASA tradition, the satellite will not be named after a person who is still living.
- Finally, the name must be original and not associated with any past, present or future astronomical observatory or space mission (domestic or international) or any NASA program. Sorry, Voyager fans!
Anyone who suggests a name in our forum section will receive a "Certificate of Participation" from NASA via return e-mail, and their name will be entered into drawing to win a year's worth of online telescope time donated by SLOOH, the Live Online Observatory. All names and statements submitted by you become the property of NASA and will not be acknowledged or returned. Your e-mail address will not be provided to others but will be used only for providing you a "Certificate of Participation". Your name may be used in a NASA, SLOOH or YouChoose.net press release.

We should take acction about those peoples who speak rudly about our religion. why are we giving them a chance by protesting don't protest we should directly kill them who paid a wrong words about our religion or our prophet
The Gamma Gazer.
I think it would be a good name,because its simple, straightforward, and explains exactly what the satelite is doing :)
How about "Pythagoras" he developped his ground breaking discoveries in geometry that are the basis of so much science today because he wanted a way to learn about the stars.
I like the one about Oden's eye. I think that would be perfect!
Tesla
Sorry didn't read the bit about 25 words. Here goes.
Science genius who changed the world. Lets take his name out to the stars
Frank.
its a nice name but i prefer ...
tommy
I think that "Gamray satellite" and "Astronomical galaxy" are a good names...
My suggestion is Majyck Satellite.
I say name it Odens eye. The reason for this being Oden is the Viking god of victory and the telescope is looking at deep space like one would imagine a god would. (note, i'm not a pagan. I just thought it would be a good name.)
Is Snoopy to simple. I can see him sitting on top of the satellite like it was his dog house.
