expt = 'These are S/X bandwidth synthesis astrometric observations of
mid-latitude southern hemisphere reference frame sources to strengthen
the International Celestial Reference Frame (ICRF). The main goal of
the observations is to increase the density of defining ICRF sources
in the southern hemisphere so as to provide a dense enough grid of
sources to allow us to investigate any possible systematic errors in
the frame. The observations will also provide a strong tie between
northern and southern hemisphere ICRF sources because of the overlap
of observations near the celestial equator.'
