The Haleakalā Observatory, also known as the Haleakalā High Altitude Observatory Site, is Hawaii's first astronomical research observatory. It is located on the island of Maui and is owned by the Institute for Astronomy of the University of Hawai'i, which operates some of the facilities on the site and leases portions to other organizations. Tenants include the Air Force Research Laboratory and the Las Cumbres Observatory Global Telescope Network . At over 3,050 meters in altitude, the summit of Haleakalā is above one third of the Earths's troposphere and has excellent astronomical seeing conditions.
The Mees Solar Observatory is named after Kenneth Mees and dedicated in 1964. It consists of one dome with multiple instruments sharing a common mount.
