The Space Grant Internet Telescope
Network

The concept
• What? Establish a national network of Internet astronomical observatories for non-astro and under-served colleges and universities.
• Why? To facilitate graduate and undergraduate student research and education projects.
• When? Initial network to begin operations ~ May 1.
• Who? Space Grant consortia, including affiliates, and all potential users at those institutions.

Online observatories
• Internet-controllable and robotic observatories are now common.
• Internet-controllable – User controls telescope and instruments via a web browser. Wide access!
• Robotic telescopes – User uploads observing plan; telescope operates independently.
• Telescope networks exist, but their user-base and utilization is often variable and/or limited.

Space Grant Internet Telescope Network
![Page 12: Opportunities to share with students & faculty](https://reader036.fdocuments.us/reader036/viewer/2022062409/56814e47550346895dbbc814/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
New members needed!
• To join the Network, any state Space Grant consortium needs:
1. An institution interested in joining. Must have committed faculty!
2. An observatory that can be operated remotely --robotic or online – OR – build a new observatory.
3. Be willing to commit resources to the effort ($5000 annually).
4. Be willing to promote the Network throughout its state.

Network administration
• All users will enter through a common Internet portal maintained by NDSGC.
• Each observatory will be operated by local personnel.
• Network administrator will monitor the overall network and operational status.
• Relatively easy to add new Network members, as they join.

Benefits
• Provide student research opportunities for Space Grant members – faculty and students.
• Promote STEM education and workforce development.
• Encourage students to pursue research careers in astronomy and planetary science.
• Improve and enhance state and national astronomical research infrastructure.
