Hon Speaker, I move without notice:
That the House -
(1) notes that on 7 November 2011, the South African Astronomical Observatory, SAAO, the National Research Foundation, NRF, and their international partners relaunched the Southern African Large Telescope, Salt, in Sutherland, six years after it was first launched in November 2005;
(2) further notes that some major problems had to be overcome to bring the telescope to its full capability, leading to the relaunch of the facility;
(3) also notes that the relaunch was a reaffirmation of the international partnership that has been working on the Salt project since its inception; and
(4) acknowledges that all the international partners in the project are allocated time, the extent of which depends on their interest in the telescope, with South Africa's allocation being one-third.
Agreed to.
