Barring problems, the primary should be aluminized by July 1. The mirror should be uncovered and the telescope returned to normal configuration shortly thereafter. Additional work on pointing and tracking can then proceed. The 26-volt control system is functioning.
Some work is required to bring the new user interface on line.
The cell monitoring software is ready and will be tested as soon as the primary is lifted by the mirror support system. Due to vacations and aluminizing nothing has been done for the last few weeks. The support system software now functions well. It needs a few weeks of work to be finished. Some changes are being made to the Magellan cell software that will simplify the lifting procedure.
