Altair LGS SV Plan

You are here

A call for proposals for system verification (SV) of Altair's laser guide star was made in May 2006. The deadline was June 16th, and PIs of successful applications, shown in the table below, have now been notified. Systems verification of NIFS with Altair's natural guide star mode was carried out earlier in 2006.
