GTO general information
The Spitzer Guaranteed Time Observation (GTO) program results from a 1983
NASA Announcement of Opportunity and competitive selection of Instrument
Teams and the Spitzer science team. For the first 2.5 years of Spitzer's
prime mission, 20 percent of observing time will be allocated to the GTO
program. The Principal Investigators (PIs) of the three science
instrument teams will each be allocated 5 percent of the observing time.
The balance will be shared equally among these members of the Spitzer Science Working Group
(SWG). Beyond 2.5 years, the GTO allocation is reduced to 15 percent
of the observing time, and is split equally among the three PIs of the
instrument teams.
The GTO programs are listed in the Spitzer Reserved Observations Catalog (ROC) and the
abstracts are listed here.
