Solar System Observations by Spitzer (née SIRTF)
This page keeps track of the 104 Solar System projects that have been
approved. The list is taken mostly from the SSC's
own
list -- which was last updated on Mar 11 2008 and has
only 104 Solar System projects.
For each project, the
number of AORs and the number of hours that
each program has been allocated is listed. This info
is usually obtainable very easily from
SPOT,
and was last checked on Feb 2 2008. Of course PIs can apply to alter
their programs, so there sometimes these quantities will change.
A dash (-) after the number of hours
indicates the project's current AORs have all been observed.
(But note that by definition AR programs don't have
AORs.) This file is a companion to the
main list
of observations.

*1: Cycle 3 program but lots of AORs still available. Was it cut?
*2: Program was cut to 2 AORs for 0.3 hours.
*3: Cycle 3 program but a few AORs left -- just never scheduled?
*4: Program 1099 originally had 76 AORs for over 12.6 hours, but SPOT now
only displays 38 AORs. Several AORs from before were IERs.
*5: Originally SPOT showed 14 AORs for 10.3 hours, but currently it shows
empty. Was the program activated?
