Next: Justification of VERITAS Design Up: Observation Plan for VERITAS Previous: Additional Targets

Summary

We have put forward here a very ambitious program of observations for the first three years of the full VERITAS array, but the flexibility of the seven telescopes of VERITAS make such an ambitious program manageable. The fact that two, and in some cases three, scientific programs can be pursued in parallel is one of the compelling strengths of VERITAS. The results of the first 3 years of operation will also point us in the appropriate scientific directions for the out years of VERITAS. Given the large discovery space available to VERITAS a full and rich scientific program can be expected for many years beyond the initial three years described here.
