1.  IUE PROPOSALS DUE MAY 22, 1995

NASA, ESA and PPARC are pleased to announce the 19th observing episode of the
International Ultraviolet Explorer (IUE). The 19th episode will place emphasis
on key science programs; we estimate that approximately half of the available
time will be awarded to key projects for the full year of observations. The
episode will start on or around 1 October 1995 and end 30  September 1996 for
the NASA science program.

Potential proposers should be aware of important changes in the manner and mode
of observatory operations after 1 October 1995.  Printed copies of the IUE
proposal package will be available within a few days. An electronic copy of the
full Announcement of Opportunity (AO) is available through anonymous ftp at

 It is also available on the World Wide Web from the IUE Project page
