Subject: SAO-1 to MLRO transition

Dear all,
MLRO will start pre-routine 1-color observations on December 4th, for
a period of one month. Initially, the observed data will not be
circulated and will be used internally for quality assessment. If, as
we hope, everything turns out ok, we&#180;ll start to submit data to the
community. In the meantime, SAO-1 will gradually shift out of
operations. The system is in critical state right now, mainly due to
the lack of spare parts, so we&#180;ve decided not to put too much stress
on it anymore and to limit observations to low, high priority,
easy-to-observe satellites. Best regards

Giuseppe Bianco
