The FORS2 instrument at the ESO VLT has been used to obtain spectra of a large sample of faint galaxies in the Chandra Deep Field South in the framework of the Great Observatories Origins Deep Survey (GOODS). A total of 303 objects with magnitude z850 ² 25.5 has been observed, providing 234 redshift determinations. The reduced spectra and the derived redshifts are released to the community (http://www.eso.org/science/goods/). They constitute an essential contribution to reach the scientific goals of GOODS, providing the time coordinate needed to delineate the evolution of galaxy masses, morphologies, and star formation, calibrating the photometric redshifts that can be derived from the imaging data at 0.36-8 mm and enabling detailed studies of the physical diagnostics for galaxies in the GOODS field.
