The radio telescopes and other equipment of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory are available for use by qualified scientists and graduate students from any institution. Observing time is allocated solely on the basis of the scientific merit of the proposed program and the suitability of the program for the telescope requested. More than 60% of the telescope time on major instruments is allocated to nonstaff observers from all over the country. There is no charge for telescope time or for the supplies and services ordinarily required for a program.
