... The process of proposing for Hubble Space Telescope observing time has been revised, to make it simpler for proposers. We describe the simple, flexible, and robust prototype system created to handle proposal submission. ... Proposing for Hubble Space Telescope ( HST ) observing time proceeds in two phases: the scientific merits of the proposal are considered in Phase I; only accepted proposals enter Phase II, where the observations are described in complete detail. ...

Plans are under way to create a new way of performing non-interactive observations which will be called auto-observing . ... Non-interactive observing with CIMA has for a long time been available with the use of CIMA command files. Contrary to normal command file observing which requires a command file with a set of commands to be executed sequentially, auto-observing will use a list of sources and a list of instructions on how to observe each of the sources. ...
