Engineering work on the new Gemini North Laser Guide Star system is taking longer than anticipated and it is not yet clear whether commissioning will take place in Semester 2018B. Therefore, LGS programs have not been included in the 2018B queue and National TACs looked for opportunities to convert LGS+P1 programs to IQ20+P2. If the laser is commissioned within 2018B it will be offered via Fast-Turnaround.
