GLAST

The Gamma-Ray Large Area Space Telescope is a high energy mission planned for launch in December 2007. GLAST will significantly contribute to our understanding of Neutron Star Physics in addition to advances in SNRs, gamma-ray bursts, AGNs, diffuse emission from galactic/extragalactic sources, dark matter, and unidentified gamma-ray sources.

Here is a table that compares GLAST/LAT capabilities with other Gamma-ray missions:
