<h2>Performance of the EGRET Astronomical 
Gamma Ray Telescope</h2>
<h3>IEEE Trans. Nucl. Sci., 39, 993 (1992)</h3>
On April 5, 1991, the Space Shuttle Atlantis carried the Compton
Gamma Ray Observatory (CGRO) into orbit, deploying the satellite
on April 7.  The EGRET instrument was activated on April 15, and
the first month of observations was devoted to verification of the
instrument performance.  Measurements made during that month and
in the subsequent sky survey pahse have verified that the
instrument time resolution, angular resolution, and gamma ray
detection efficiency are all withing nominal limits.
