Cycle 17 TAC - preparations
Cycle 17 will offer a broad instrumental suite
WFC3, COS, ACS (all cameras), STIS, NICMOS, FGS Spectroscopy will become possible again with HST

We anticipated more proposals

several steps to deal with this:

Add extra panel by combing Solar System with Exoplanets, Circumstellar Material and Star Formation mirror panels for Solar system programs for the first time (12 panels in total) 1 extra week for panelists reviews Panelists asked to provide preliminary grades for 2/3rds proposals

Contingencies
ACS & STIS repairs are on best effort instrument must provide contingency TAC/panels will advise on ranking HST TAC/panels will be asked to rank basis; proposals to use either plans for non-availability deeper than normal

Submission Statistics
960 Proposals requesting almost 21000 orbits:
753 GO (583 last cycle) 41 Snaps (39 last cycle) 21 Surveys (26 last cycle) 145 Archival Research (173 last cycle) 6 Pure Parallels for 1361 orbits

181 proposals submitted from ESA PIs
172 GOs for 4066 orbits 8 Snaps for 892 targets 1 Survey for 8 orbits

STUC Meeting April 10 2008

Key Points
Largest orbit request for TAC proposals since Cycle 11 3rd Largest Orbit Request (behind only Cycles 7 & 11) Future Cycle requests on par with previous years Chandra requests down; NOAO the same; no Spitzer Calibrations: 4 GO and 2 AR Archival Research requests slightly down Largest number of Investigators ever Relatively low interest in Survey programs (still) 6 Lunar programs submitted ­ all technically feasible

Instructions to the TAC
SM4 is scheduled for 28 August 2008
Install new instruments, WFC3 (replacing WFPC2) & COS (COSTAR) Repair existing instruments, ACS & COS NICMOS & FGS also available

TAC/panels should assume that all instruments are available and working nominally
But, ACS & STIS repairs are on a best effort basis Proposals requesting those instruments should provide alternate strategy should either not be available in Cycle 17 (more on this later)

Simple selection criteria for Cycle 17

Pick the best science

A question for the STUC
HST proposal format
Call for Proposals currently specifies required sections and lists specific page limits for each, e.g. for a Large Program
PDF limited to 11 pages Sections: Scientific Justification, Description of Observations, Special Requirements (GO), Coordinated Observations (GO), Duplications, Analysis plan (AR & Theory), Budget Narrative (AR & Theory) Scientific Justification no more than 6 pages Figures & references after Scientific Justification No changes to format Allow format changes, but specific 12 pt. type except for reference Allow figures within the text
STUC Meeting April 10 2008

Should we list assigned sections (for AR or GO) plus a total page limit, and let the PI adjust to fit?

HST Lunar Initiative
STScI was asked by SMD to support NASA's Vision for Space Exploration via the lunar science community
HST observations in support of LCROSS (January 2009) GO proposals to observe the Moon enabled in Cycle 17 call for Proposals User Information Report on "Observing the Moon" available from Nov 1st to aid proposers DD allocation of ~25 orbits to Grunsfeld et al

Lunar initiative for exploratory science
Call for white papers on lunar science ­ deadline 31/1/2008 deadline

6 white papers submitted by the deadline ­ several have also been submitted for consideration in Cycle 17
Technical assessment by STScI HST MO ­ most are feasible with current HST 3-gyro operations Scientific review by Lunar Advisory Group (external) Lunar (external) Recommendation to Director by June 2008 Approximately 30 orbits of DD time potentially available for exploratory lunar programs in Cycle 18

LCROSS
LCROSS (Lunar Crater Observation and Sensing Satellite)
Goal is to determine whether water ice exists in permanently shadowed regions - polar crater site Scheduled for lunar impact in January 2009 Uses Earth-departure upper rocket stage to impact lunar surface Impact creates an ejecta plume subject to solar UV radiation Plume to be observed by LCROSS and Earth-based telescopes LCROSS passes through plume and also impacts surface 10-15 minutes minut later

HST observations ­ DD program, PI A. Colaprete (LCROSS)
Goal is to observe OH 3085A emission and possibly hydrocarbons Observing strategy similar to 1999 Lunar Prospector program Execution will depend on successful completion of SM4 & SMOV
Orbit 1 timed to observe impact (STIS slit) Orbits 2-5 to observe transient OH exophere
