Guaranteed Time Observation Programs
The JWST Guaranteed Time Observations (GTO) program is designed to reward scientists who helped develop the key hardware and software components or technical and inter-disciplinary knowledge for the observatory. The program provides a total of about 16% use of the observatory over the first 3 cycles of operation.
