Please refer to MeerKAT Telescope and Data Access Guidelines for detailed guidelines on how to obtain data from time is allocated on the MeerKAT telescope.
There are three kinds of MeerKAT observing proposals: Large Survey Projects (LSP), Open Time, and Director's Discretionary Time (DDT). Commissioning and other types of observations are often also useful for science purposes - more details can be found in the MeerKAT Telescope and Data Access Guidelines.

Data releases (generally fully processed image products and catalogues) from various projects can be found in the SARAO repository.
This includes public releases of SARAO legacy surveys, calibrator images from the SARAO monitoring programme, and periodic data releases from the large survey projects.

DDT
The DDT mechanism is available to allocate approximately 5% of competitively awarded observing time. Details Instructions on how to apply can be found at MeerKAT Telescope and Data Access Guidelines here.
Other projects

SARAO has surveyed a 30 deg2 region in the GAMA23 field in order to demonstrate MeerKAT's capabilities for relatively shallow and large area neutral hydrogen surveys, while demonstrating the science utility of the SDP near real-time spectral imager. This uses the L-band receiver, 32k mode of the correlator, and 1 hour per pointing.

(MMGPS)
This survey is a multi-wavelength campaign incorporating imaging, spectral line and time-domain (including pulsar search) modes commensally. The components of the survey are as follows:
Survey | Galactic longitude range (deg) | Galactic latitude range (deg) | Band | Dwell time (s) | Total duration (hr) |
---|---|---|---|---|---|
MMGPS-L | -100 < l < -10 | |b| < 5. |
