GBT Proposal Checkout Information
Welcome to the proposal checkout center. The purpose of this web site is to handle the management of verifying that all GBT proposals can be observed using the current state of the GBT hardware and software. Every approved GBT proposal is classified into one of the following five categories. Proposals that are not part of this process include VLBI and most Rapid Response Science requests (Exploratory Time and Target of Oportunity).

  • Active Checkout The proposal is actively under investigation for feasibility of observations. In cases where some or all of the proposed observations are feasible, the proposal will be moved to the "schedule" queue. If no part of the proposal is currently feasible (for example, they require a mode which is not yet available) then the proposal will be placed in the "on hold" queue. Active Checkout for GB scientific staff (password required).

  • Schedule At least some part of the proposal is capable of being scheduled. Proposals remain in this category until either they are complete, or are returned to the "active checkout" queue (for those parts of the proposal which were not originally feasible. Schedule for GB scientific staff (password required).

  • On Hold This category is for proposals which have been checked for feasibilty, and cannot currently be scheduled. These will be reviewed periodically, and returned to the "active checkout" queue to be reassessed when the required capabilities are made available. On Hold for GB scientific staff (password required).

All proposals listed by triemester are available at All Proposals or All for GB scientific staff (password required). Queue administration requires a passward.
