Gemini North Semester 2024A -- Dates are local HST
The semester calendar shows multi-instrument queue nights, engineering or commissioning. Dates are local HST, dates in red are weekends and holidays.
Instruments potentially usable are indicated by the colored-horizontal bands (see color key below).
IRDC= IR detector controller project. VIb = Vibration project, comm = commissioning, SV = Systems Verification
Vibration work (work to investigate and chracteorize the vibration in the telescope systems) is scheduled to start May01.
The equipment will be using the bottom port, i.e. no science instrumenton the bottom port. MrnX will be installed on May06 if all work concludes as scheduled.  (Cont=Contingency for the vibration work. )
