The best way to get trained on how to use the Green Bank Telescope is to attend one of our training workshops (in-person or online). These are typically held twice a year following proposal deadlines. Check this page ^[2] for a listing of upcoming training workshops.

We also allow observers to be trained one-on-one with their “Project Friend,” a member of the GB Science Staff assigned to each observing project. On this page, you will find a number of documents and videos that we have compiled them from previous Green Bank Observatory training workshops. They present an introduction to radio astronomy science and observing techniques and are widely applicable to any radio telescope.
