NASA decided to use TLRS-4 to continue SLR observations in this critical global location in 2005 after the closure of the HOLLAS SLR station in 2004. After more than a year of preparations, the TLRS-4 system is now producing high quality data. The University of Hawaii crew, as well as Honeywell Technical Solutions Inc.(HTSI) engineers, have obtained over 120 SLR passes since the end of October. This data has been released for your evaluation. The TLRS-4 was formally surveyed in September, and preliminary survey information is available in the TLRS-4 site log available on the CDDIS: http://ilrs.gsfc.nasa.gov/cgi-bin/stations/select.cgi?order=by_site_name &site_code=HA4T&site_name=Haleakala%20%28TLRS4%29&pad_id=7119&tab_id=sit elog A formal survey report will be released in the near future. We would request that analysts provide information about the quality TLRS-4 SLR data to myself as well as the HTSI team: Julie Horvath - julie.horvath@honeywell-tsi.com Bud Donovan - Howard.donovan@honeywell-tsi.com Dennis McCollums - Dennis.mccollums@honeywell-tsi.com We would like to thank the University of Hawaii and the HTSI teams for doing an excellent job bringing the TLRS-4 on-line at the summit, and we look forward to high quality SLR once again from Haleakala. Thank you, David L.
