HST Change Request

Minor change requests

Minor change requests are handled by sending email to your program coordinator. Examples of minor changes are:

• Small adjustments to the coordinates of a previously approved target
• Exposure time
• Spectral elements
• Replace a previously approved target with a new target (no increase to the total number of targets used in the program)

Major change requests

Major change requests require a formal change request form submitted to the Telescope Time Review Board (TTRB). Examples of major changes are:

• Addition of new targets, greater than the previously approved number of targets
• Substitute a new target that changes the originally approved science goal of the program
• New science instrument
• Increase in time allocation
• Any significant change to scheduling requirements

More information on the policies and procedures for submitting change requests can be found in Policies for the Telescope Time Review Board (TTRB).
