Abstract:

The Large Area Telescope (LAT) on Fermi has been successfully operating on-orbit for more than 7 years, since the launch of Fermi in June 2008. We present summaries of the current performance of the LAT detector and data-acquisition sub-systems, and give a prognosis for the expected performance of the LAT for continued future operation.
