Tag: Decommission

IMT3 is dead, long live IMT3

So we started the decommissioning of IMT3, dome and all ready for the move to a new darker site location. The new incarnation once installed will be known as IMT3b. As part of the process the Esprit120 will be relocated to a separate pier mount in a RoR shed to be known as IMT3c.

Looking all lonely, so ronery !
