"...Up to now, HST Archival Proposals were the prerogative of US Astronomers who
can submit them within the normal HST Observing Cycles. The ASTROVIRTEL Project is partly aiming at filling this gap, with two notable differences:
The Archival Proposals are not limited to HST data.
The support is mainly offered as services to the Proposers, rather than
as pure grants........"
