Haleakala volcano summit in Maui hosts various astronomical facilities, like the Maui Space Surveillance Complex with the DoD's largest optical telescope for deep space monitoring.
Native Hawaiians view the summit as a sacred place akin to wao akua, raising opposition to the Air Force's plan to build more telescopes in the area, invoking past protests similar to Maunakea's issues.
