10.7 Unschedulable or Infeasible Programs
Proposers should be aware that after acceptance of a proposal, the actual execution of the observations may in some cases prove impossible. Possible reasons include:
- The accepted observation may be found to be infeasible or extremely difficult for technical reasons only after receipt of the Phase II information; TOO and time-critical observations can be particularly complex to plan and execute, and will be completed only to the extent that circumstances allow.
- The observing mode or instrument selected may not be operational; or
Note also that the STScI Director reserves the right to disallow at any time any or all observations of an approved program if it is demonstrated that incorrect or incomplete information was provided in the Phase I proposal that may have significantly influenced the approval recommendation by the review panels or TAC.
