- Summary:
- The University of Hawaii, Institute for Astronomy (IfA) proposed to place the Panoramic Survey Telescope and Rapid Response System (Pan-STARRS) technology, which consists of four optical segments each with its own digital camera, within a rebuilt facility at the UH 2.2m site that is located on the island of Hawaii at the summit of Mauna Kea and is within the Science Reserve. Although funding for the project development has been provided through a cooperative agreement provided by the United States Department of Defense, Air Force Research Laboratory, the Pan-STARRS project will be owned, operated, and maintained by the IfA. Further, the university will be responsible for processing the imagery and data. The primary team for Pan-STARRS construction includes the IfA, the University of Hawaii at Hilo Department of Physics and Astronomy, the Air Force's Maui High-Performance Computing Center, Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Lincoln Laboratory, and Science Applications International Corporation. This Environmental Impact Statement Notice of Preparation (EISPN) is being filed with the State of Hawaii's Office of Environmental Quality Control (OEQC). This EISPN and the subsequent Draft Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) and Final EIS will evaluate the potential impacts of the proposed Pan-STARRS project on the natural, cultural, socio-economic, and human environments.
