In April 2022, the control systems were delivered and upgraded and the E152 telescope started to breath again. In November 2022, we held a special inauguration ceremony with the CZ ambassador and consortium partners present. The link for the videoconference (CZ only) can be found here:

Realuminization of the E152 mirror is scheduled for April 12-30. After the realuminization, we plan the telescope to be operational in full observing mode.
