The Transiting Exoplanet Survey Satellite (TESS) General Investigator (GI) Program (ROSES-25 D.3D) solicits proposals for the acquisition and analysis of new scientific data from the TESS mission taken during Cycle 9 from Sector 108 starting September 7, 2026, to Sector 121 ending September 19, 2027. Additionally, proposals that support the acquisition and/or analysis of scientific data from ground-based telescopes are also solicited if they directly support the analysis and/or interpretation of TESS scientific data, either taken during Cycle 9 or in the archive.
