On July 8, 2026, the COSI detector assembly was lifted from its table, marking a key step in its mission. COSI, a wide-field gamma-ray telescope, is set to study high-energy cosmic phenomena within the Milky Way and beyond. Key aspects of COSI's research include exploring the processes behind the creation and destruction of matter and antimatter, as well as the final phases in the life cycles of stars. This mission is the result of collaboration between several institutions, including UC Berkeley's Space Sciences Laboratory, UC San Diego, and NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center.
