Schedules

    • Current GBT Schedule: The GBT dynamic schedule from the present through the following two weeks can be viewed on-line.
    • Dynamic Scheduling System: Description of the GBT scheduling system.
    • Weather Forecast: The Green Bank weather forecasts presented on these pages are derived from three major forecast products supplied by the national weather services.
    • DSS Weather Forecast: The Green Bank high-frequency weather forecasts presented on these pages specifically address the suitability of expected near-term future weather conditions for high-frequency observing at the GBT.
    • On Duty Support Schedule: NRAO staff scientists are assigned to support the current observations 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. They will assist first time observers in the start up of their initial observations and are on call for trouble shooting on going observations when needed. These support assignments are usually different from the proposal's specifically assigned Friend/NRAO Contact.

Connect with NRAO

The National Radio Astronomy Observatory and Green Bank Observatory are facilities of the U.S. National Science Foundation operated under cooperative agreement by Associated Universities, Inc.

Founded in 1956, the NRAO provides state-of-the-art radio telescope facilities for use by the international scientific community. NRAO telescopes are open to all astronomers regardless of institutional or national affiliation. Observing time on NRAO telescopes is available on a competitive basis to qualified scientists after evaluation of research proposals on the basis of scientific merit, the capability of the instruments to do the work, and the availability of the telescope during the requested time. NRAO also provides both formal and informal programs in education and public outreach for teachers, students, the general public, and the media.

The National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent federal agency created by Congress in 1950 "to promote the progress of science; to advance the national health, prosperity, and welfare; to secure the national defense..."

AUI collaborates with the scientific community and research sponsors to plan, build, and operate cutting-edge facilities. We cultivate excellence, deliver value, enhance education, and engage the public.
