Dear all, apologies for the late message. Much of the team was at SLAC this week (on line or in person) for our annual joint agency review, and I lost track of messaging. As expected, the team did a great job at the review, and we gained valuable input from our panel to improve on our plans.
On the summit, our team made great progress towards regular operations. We now have 24/7 power via our generator, and network and cooling services are partially on line, including cooling for the computer room. We have internet connectivity to the summit, though not yet full bandwidth. Progress is being made on the camera and facility maintenance plans/activity. Access to the summit remains good and some of our team stayed overnight on the summit to improve daytime efficiency during the week. Our pre-storm planned down time for maintenance officially begins September 14, though many aspects are already making progress in parallel with the continuing efforts to get the summit back to its normal operating state. In the next weeks we will begin to have a better idea when we will be back on sky. Stay tuned.
