In Phase I STScI does not perform technical reviews for the majority of the submitted proposals (exceptions include, Large, DD, Calibration, TOO and Treasury Programs). In Phase II a technical/feasibility review is performed and special attention is given to observations/modes that may damage the instrument, are particularly complex, are recent/experimental, are human and technical resource-intensive, or require the use of limited resources (such as real-time acquisitions or TOO Programs). All technically challenging or infeasible observations are flagged. Note that it is the responsibility of the PI to ensure that none of the observations violate bright objects constraints (see Section 5.1 of the HST Primer).
