Subject: 7119 HA4T: Haleakala, Maui, Hawaii (TLRS-4) Data Release

Dear Colleagues,

As you are aware, the TLRS-4 system, located on Haleakala, Hawaii, was
taken off-line several months ago to under-go a major laser upgrade.
This laser upgrade has been successfully installed at all MOBLAS
stations in the NASA Network. Unfortunately, after the installation,
the data from the system presented a bias that indicated that something
was not right with the system configuration. With the help of the ILRS
AWG (specifically analysts Erricos Pavlis and Horst Mueller), the bias
was quantified, and the station crew was able to determine that the
station calibration was compromised. The crew, by using a work-around,
was able to eliminate the bias, but HTSI engineers have yet to identify
the cause. All TLRS-4 data since August 28th @20:00 UTC does not
exhibit the bias that was apparent after the installation, so all data
since this time until today, September 24th, has been released to the
ILRS Data Centers. =20

An HTSI engineer will be at the site after today to identify and
eliminate the source of the problem. All data after today will be put
on hold at HTSI for further evaluation to ensure quality data. After
the data has been verified, HTSI will notify the ILRS about nominal
operations. =20
