The NOAO Mid-Scale Observatories
  We describe present and future capabilities of the Mid-Scale Observatories
(MSO) of the new national center merging NOAO, Gemini Observatory and LSST
Operations. MSO is comprised of Cerro Tololo Interamerican Observatory (CTIO)
and the Kitt Peak National Observatory (KPNO). Telescopes at both sites
currently operate on a mix of public and private funding. Recent upgrades have
equipped the MSO 4-m class telescopes to perform world-class surveys in diverse
areas of astrophysics, from dark energy to exoplanets.
