The Whipple 10-meter is presently making ready to be decommissioned once forty years of service.In Apr 2007, VERITAS (a system of four IACT telescopes with 12-meter reflectors) started full operations at the FLWO basecamp. Later, in September 2009, once a four month effort, one among the telescopes was affected to a replacement position, creating the array cruciate and increasing its sensitivity.
