GBT Observer Alert
Data Storage Work
The Green Bank Observatory is in the process of expanding the storage capacity on one of our data storage machines. The work starts Monday, July 14 at 16:00 ET and will continue until all data is successfully restored. Data stored in the GBT Legacy Archive will be unavailable during this period.
This page provides you with resources that will help you prepare, execute, and wrap-up observations for your GBT project. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to contact us.

Dynamic Scheduling System (DSS)
This web service allows you to manage your accepted GBT projects. Most importantly you will use this service to enable your projects and provide black-out dates.
