Maria Jose Granados-Munoz arrive April 1st Exclusively dedicated to TOLNet She will show her first results on Thursday afternoon

  5. Instrumentation Status (2014-2015) Laser service performed in February 2015  Now slightly higher STNR than in 2014 Chiller failure in May 2015 caused 3 weeks of measurement gap! As of today: Measurements mostly nominal Expected soon (before October): Installation of NEW Licel Analog + Photon-countinghardware to stabilize near-ground channels

  6. Chiller incident details May 4: Chiller failed at night during experiments May 5: Requested quote from FHA (chiller repair company) for failure diagnosis May 6: Received quote for $288 from FHA; Requisition submitted to JPL May 7: Requested, received and forwarded to JPL the Site Specific Safety Plan from FHA; Phoned buyer to inform him of urgent need for repair May 11: JPL issued PO (Purchase Order) to FHA for failure diagnosis May 12: FHA received PO and called to schedule visit May 13 May 13: FHA technician diagnosed chiller failure** May 14: FHA sent chiller repair quote for $4600 after hours May 18: Requisition for repair submitted to JPL May 19: Phoned buyer to inform her of urgent need for repair May 20: JPL issued PO to FHA for repair May 21: FHA technician at TMF working on repair May 22: Two FHA technicians at TMF working on repair May 26: Two FHA technicians at TMF working on repair Repair finished at 11:00 am
