... However, because ALFA was built to enable very large-scale sky surveys, NAIC seeks to encourage the formation of research teams, consortia, to take on the task of conducting ambitious sky surveys with the primary goal of creating legacy archival databases for public use. The legacy sky surveys are done as a partnership between NAIC and the research consortia, the policies and guidelines for which are summarized here. ... NAIC will archive the raw data at the Arecibo Observatory. ...

... The scientific program of RadioAstron consists of three major parts: the Early Science Program (ESP), Key Science Program (KSP), and General Observing Time (GOT) projects. The Early Science Program, which finished in June 2013, explored the main scientific capabilities of RadioAstron observations and paved the way for the subsequent KSP and GOT programs. RadioAstron KSP observations commenced in July 2013. ... The RadioAstron Announcement of Opportunity - 2; . ...
