Take control priority†

When your observation time starts, you first need to make sure that no observation is running on ASTE and then, take control priority of your site.

1. Check which site currently has the control priority on COS3 Launcher.
   • If all control priorities show "IDLE", please go to the next step.
   • If some or all are NOT "IDLE", please contact with ASTE support scientists.
2. Login to COSMOS3
   1. Click Cosmos Main on the cos3launcher.
   2. Input your account, project, and password.
3. Take the control priority of your site.
   1. Make sure that COSMOS3 Manager-GUI shows Observation: IDL (Nowhere observation).
   2. Click THIS NODE at Control on COSMOS3 Manager-GUI.
   3. Confirm that all control priorities show your site on COS3 Launcher.
