flag The U.S. Air Force has extended the public comment period for its proposed AMOS STAR project on Haleakalā to April 15, adding seven new telescopes near the existing Maui Space Surveillance Complex. flag The plan, aimed at improving satellite tracking, faces strong opposition from Native Hawaiian groups and environmental advocates who cite cultural, ecological, and environmental concerns, including past spills and threats to endangered species. flag Critics argue the development violates the spiritual significance of the sacred mountain, with ongoing community efforts to voice opposition through public meetings and petitions.
