Adding Phase-1 Science Goals

Once the administrative information has been added, it is now possible to insert the Phase-1 Science Goals. These can be added in a number of ways, but perhaps the most convenient is by using the toolbar icon. Each time this is clicked, an empty Science Goal will appear underneath the Planned Observing node and by default each will show its six sections (Figure 5.5). Note that a Science Goal can only be added if either the Proposal or Planned Observing nodes are currently active.

A number of summary views of the defined Science Goals are available. The first is a table that is visible when the Planned Observing node is active - each row gives a brief description of each Science Goal. If the top node of a Science Goal is selected, what is displayed depends on what has been set in the Preferences menu. The choices are a similar table to that displayed in Planned Observing or a view of all six sections of a Science Goal simultaneously.

The six sections of a Science Goal are: General, Field Setup, Spectral Setup, Calibration Setup, Control and Performance and Technical Justification. These will now be discussed in detail.
