Introduction to the Proposal and Observation Process

The normal Gemini proposal process comprises two phases:

• Phase I - an application for time is made to National Time Allocation Committees (NTACs) supported by a scientific and technical justification.
• Phase II - observations are prepared with the Gemini Observing Tool (OT) software.
