July 2021 GHOST Update

The GHOST project continues to be on hold due to the pandemic and we do not expect to start the re-assembly and test of the instrument at Cerro Pachon this year.  We are hopeful that the travel restrictions will ease in the first half of 2022 so this work can begin. In the meantime, we continue to make incremental improvements to our software and documentation, and order spare parts. Since our last report, the three containers of hardware stored at the base facility in La Serena were moved and unloaded for storage at Cerro Pachon.  The rest of GHOST resides in storage at the NRC-Herzberg facility in Victoria, British Columbia, waiting for the green light for our Canadian  and Australia teams to travel.
