Abstract
We describe a special instance of the Goerss-Hopkins obstruction theory, due to Senger, for calculating the moduli of ring spectra with given mod- homology. In particular, for the -primary Brown-Peterson spectrum we give a chain complex that calculates the first obstruction groups, locate the first potential genuine obstructions, and discuss how some of the obstruction classes can be interpreted in terms of secondary operations.
