2 Introduction

The XMM-Newton Remote Proposal Submission software (XRPS) has been developed for ESA (ESOC), under contract, by Logica UK Limited. It is an online proposal submission software package, which is accessible via the URL http://xmmrps.esac.esa.int/. The software is not downloadable and cannot be used off-line. All XMM-Newton proposals that have been awarded observing time by the Observatory Time Allocation Committee (OTAC) must be submitted remotely via XRPS. Details on the Call for XMM-Newton Proposals can be found in the SOC's AO documentation.


BEFORE submitting an XMM-Newton proposal, please read this document carefully and consult also the XMM-Newton Users Handbook (UHB). The XMM-Newton Users Handbook can be found via the URL, http://www.cosmos.esa.int/web/xmm-newton/documentation, where users can choose between HTML, PS and PDF versions of the document.
