Instrument Host Overview
  ========================
 
  The following information comes from the NAIC website
  (http://www.naic.edu/public/descrip_eng.htm):
 
  The Arecibo Observatory, located in Arecibo, Puerto Rico, 'is part of the
  National Astronomy and Ionosphere Center (NAIC), a national research
  center operated by Cornell University under a cooperative agreement with
  the National Science Foundation (NSF). The NSF is an independent federal
  agency whose aim is to promote scientific and engineering progress in the
  United States. NSF funds research and education in most fields of science
  and engineering. Additional support is provided by the National
  Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA).
 
  As the site of the world's largest single-dish radio telescope, the
  Observatory is recognized as one of the most important national centers for
  research in radio astronomy, planetary radar and terrestrial aeronomy. Use
  of the Arecibo Observatory is available on an equal, competitive basis to
  all scientists from throughout the world. Observing time is granted on the
  basis of the most promising research as ascertained by a panel of
  independent referees who review the proposals sent to the Observatory by
  interested scientists. Every year about 200 scientists visit the
  Observatory facilities to pursue their research project, and numerous
  students perform observations that lead to their master and doctoral
  dissertations.'
