We are finally able to post the results of the Time Allocation Committee meeting held on April 16/17 in Stuttgart.

Phase 1 of the German Call for Proposals for SOFIA Science Demonstration Time has ended on March 21.

Of the 22 proposals submitted, 18 requested observing time with GREAT and 4 requested observing time with FORCAST.

These proposals have been reviewed for technical feasibility by the DSI and the FORCAST and GREAT instrument teams as well as for scientific merit by an independent review panel. The results of the selection process have been announced, and the list of proposals eligible to enter Phase 2 for SOFIA Science Demonstration can be found here.

The information necessary for preparing and submitting SOFIA Science Demonstration Time proposals can be found on the Phase 1 Call for Proposals page. These include links to the Call for Proposals document, the Observer's Handbook and to various tools and tutorials.
