NASA Calls for Proposals for the Keck Telescopes, Semester 2015B

NASA is soliciting proposals to use the Keck telescopes for the 2015B observing semester, 1 August 2015 through 31 January 2016.

NASA intends the use of the Keck telescopes to be highly strategic in support of ongoing space missions and/or high-priority, long-term science goals.

Proposals are sought in the following discipline areas:

1. investigations in support of Exoplanet Exploration science goals and missions;
2. investigations of our own solar system;
3. investigations in support of Cosmic Origins science goals and missions; and
4. investigations in support of Physics of the Cosmos science goals and missions.

Direct mission-support proposals in any of these scientific areas are also encouraged.

The proposal process is being handled by the NASA Exoplanet Science Institute (NExScI) at Caltech, and all proposals are due on 19 March 2015 at 4:00 pm PDT.
