We will badly miss you and your expertise in our community. The disappearance of the HOLLAS station will leave a huge hole in global coverage of the laser tracking network the effect of which can hardly be underestimated. I sincerely hope that the current developments of new, smaller systems will soon come to a successful end to offer solutions that could bring Hawaii `back into business`. In the name of all my colleagues of the ILRS Governing Board and certainly also in the name of the whole SLR and LLR community I would like to thank you and your team for all your contributions during these many years, and I wish you all the best in your new area of activity. Werner Gurtner Chairman of the Governing Board International Laser Ranging Service From: Werner Gurtner ******************************************************************************** |
