The Compton Spectrometer and Imager (COSI) is a NASA mission led by the UC Berkeley Space Sciences Laboratory (SSL). The Principal Investigator, John Tomsick, is available for quotes and interviews on a variety of astrophysics and astronomy topics. Tomsick has worked in astrophysics and instrumentation for 30 years and has deep experience in multi-wavelength observations of celestial X-ray and gamma-ray sources, such as black holes and neutron stars. The science payload for the COSI mission was designed and built at SSL, and it will be operated by SSL’s mission operations center. Press visitation to SSL can be arranged. Additional photos, B roll and photos are available. Please contact (alantoth[at]berkeley.edu).
