Abstract
GLAST-LAT is a telescope for gamma rays in the range 20MeV÷300 GeV. It consists of a Silicon Strip Detectors (SSDs) Tracker, a CsI calorimeter and an anticoincidence detector. The total surface of silicon detectors is almost 80m2 so it will have the largest equipped area among all space experiments. In this paper will be presented the electrical and dimensional tests performed on all the flight SSDs and the ladders assembly procedures and the electrical and geometrical tests on the first flight sensor produced.
