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 ******************************************************************************** |
