Spitzer enters a new phase of its mission in spring 2009: the Spitzer "warm" mission. The combination of Spitzer's unprecedented sensitivity, Earth-trailing orbit and efficiency in mapping large regions provides new opportunities for scientific research. With over 6,500 hours of observing time available yearly, investigations requiring large amount of observing time are for the first time enabled by warm Spitzer. This brief introductory talk will introduce the ten large "Exploration Science" programs for the warm Spitzer mission, and also describe opportunities for the general observer community. An update on warm Spitzer status will also be provided.
Information on the Exploration Science programs is available at: http://ssc.spitzer.caltech.edu/geninfo/es/
