Summary:

Dr. Hiatt updated on the development of Mauna Kea as an astronomical observatory. After meetings with NASA officials, it seems that NASA is likely to support UH's proposal on the conditions of an advisory committee which consists of expert astronomers from the country and a competent director who Dr. Hiatt mentioned Dr. Jefferies as a candidate. The estimated cost for infrastructure development on Mauna Kea is around $2 million. UH will cooperate with Harvard and LPL.
