Hi Ice fans,
If any of you happen to find yourself at the AAS this week, please stop by the STScI booth for the most up to date information on JWST. Particularly, please feel free to say ‘hi’ to NIRSpec team member Diane Karakla, who is there giving demos of the flight ETC and the NIRSpec MSA Planning Tool software in the APT interface.
*Much* is happening in terms of documentation and software releases for JWST Cycle 1 preparation.

I'll send update messages when the next APT version and the help desk link is released (soon - in Jan.).
Here at STScI, we are not allowed to be the PI for DD ERS proposals… Though, please keep me posted - I’m happy to help out if folks have any questions at all on ice proposals. Good luck!
