URGING THE UNITED STATES AIR FORCE TO CEASE PLANS RELATED TO THE CONSTRUCTION OF THE MAUI OPTICAL AND SUPERCOMPUTING SITE SMALL TELESCOPE ADVANCED RESEARCH FACILITY ATOP HALEAKALĀ.

This Senate Concurrent Resolution urges the United States Air Force to stop plans for building the AMOS STAR facility, a proposed telescope complex on the summit of Haleakala in Maui. The measure directly affects federal military space-tracking operations and local communities concerned about cultural and environmental impacts. It highlights concerns that the project would further militarize sacred Hawaiian land and alter a protected conservation area, while noting community opposition regarding transparency and access. The resolution asks federal officials to explore alternative locations for space surveillance infrastructure that would not impact culturally significant sites.
