The GBT Proposal Submission Tool

Please read the news before you download the PST.

The GBT Proposal Submission Tool (PST) is a package for creating and submitting GBT observing proposals.

The PST is a Java program that must be loaded onto a local computer (it is not a web form). Best performance is achieved by installing the PST on individual machines although some institutions may prefer a site installation if they have adequate network resources. 

Detailed information on the PST is available through the links on the right. In particular, you can read a brief overview of the tool, download  the tool or browse the cookbook.

The help pages for the various PST tabs and features, accessible via the three help page links to the right, are the same ones that are available within the PST context-sensitive help.

The PST is a GBT-specific version of the Gemini Phase I Tool, and both the GBT extension and these help pages are heavily based on the Gemini version.

The Gemini Phase I Tool is the work of the Gemini High-Level Programming Group: Kim Gillies and Jim Wright (and ex-members Shane Walker and Darrell Denlinger), with some earlier work by Dayle Kotturi. The Phase I Tool help pages were written by Colin Aspin, Phil Puxley and Claudia Winge.
