Control desk

Today's photograph is the control desk in the site office at KAIRA.Our site office (also known as the Lehtinen Barracks) contains some desks and local network that we can use to control the station when we are operating locally. Although we normally leave KAIRA to run fully automatically, there are occasions when being at the site is really useful... usually for maintenance tasks or for setting up new experiments.
