Phase 2 - Observing Program

Once a proposal has been approved, or if a project is being created that hasn't had to go through the proposal system e.g. for observatory tests, it is then necessary to create the Scheduling Blocks that will be used to run the observations at the telescope. This can be done in one of two ways, either by generating a Phase-2 program via one or more Science Goals, or by constructing the SBs from scratch. The former is the route that will almost always be used, as an observing program is extremely complicated (described in Section 6.2) and the generation will get the structure and most (if not all) of the parameters correct with the click of a button. If necessary, the generated SBs can then be edited.
