Fermi Summer School will be May 26 to June 5, 2026.
Registration is now open for the Fermi Summer School 2026. The application deadline is February 6, 2026. However, we have a limited number of positions at the school and early applications will be favored.
The Fermi Science Support Center (FSSC) is hosting a virtual proposal workshop on 14 January 2026 from 2:00-3:30PM EST. Full details, including a link to the registration form, can be found on the Workshop Page. The workshop will include details of the updated Target of Opportunity (TOO) program. Please register by 10AM EST on Jan 14 so that we can send you the details to join the virtual meeting.
An updated version (2.5.0) of the Fermitools is now available. A large number of changes have been made focusing on resolving issues with dependencies, internal tool testing and validation, and resolving outstanding issues. These changes include packaging a set of external dependencies with the tools for improved build and installation performance, a range of bug fixes and enhancements to backend code, and a complete overhaul of the FSSC build system.
+ Release Notes
Fermi Observations for MW 923
Mission Week 923 begins with a continuation of the symmetric +/-50 deg. profile from the previous week. Then, on DOY 36 (2026-2-5) at 00:59 UT a 10-minute freeze observation occurs during which a symmetric +/-50 deg. profile is loaded. This profile continues until the end of the mission week. The survey repeat period is based on a 5668s orbital period. Note that positive rock angles are south, and negative rock angles are north.
The Fermi Science Support Center (FSSC) runs the guest investigator program, creates and maintains the mission time line, provides analysis tools for the scientific community, and archives and serves Fermi data.
