FGS Phase II Proposing
When writing and submitting a FGS Observing Proposal,
proposers should consult all relevant technical documentation about the
capabilities and sensitivities of FGS. Two important documents to consult are the FGS Instrument Handbook, and the FGS Data Handbook. Proposers should also discuss the requirements
of their observing programs with appropriate STScI experts. Contacts are provided via the STScI HelpDesk at help@stsci.edu.
For more specific information relating to Phase II proposing, follow the links to the documents listed below.

IHB Chapter 6.4 Overheads
The assessment of the total spacecraft time needed by a program should take into
account the overheads associated with various types of observations. Overheads
are incorporated into the RPS2 proposal processing algorithm.
