This report covers the period from 1 July 2002 through 30 June 2003. The NASA Infrared Telescope Facility (IRTF) is a 3.0 m infrared telescope located at an altitude of 4.2 km on the summit of Mauna Kea in Hawaii. It was established by NASA in 1979 primarily to provide infrared observations in support of NASA's programs. The IRTF is managed and operated by the University of Hawaii (UH) Institute for Astronomy (IfA) under a five-year cooperative agreement between NASA and UH that started in February 2001. NASA provides the costs of operation, and NSF provides support for new focal plane instrumentation based on grant applications from IRTF support astronomers. Observing time is open to the entire astronomical community, and 50% of the IRTF observing time is reserved for studies of solar system objects.
