The first VERITAS telescope was installed in 2002-2003 at the Fred Lawrence Whipple Observatory and was originally operated as a prototype instrument. Subsequently the decision was made to locate the full array at the same site, resulting in an asymmetric array layout. As anticipated, this resulted in less than optimal sensitivity due to the loss in effective area and the increase in background due to local muon initiated triggers. In the summer of 2009, the VERITAS collaboration relocated Telescope 1 to improve the overall array layout. This has provided a 30% improvement in sensitivity corresponding to a 60% change in the time needed to detect a source.

Characterizing the VHE emission of LS I +61 303 using VERITAS observations
New VERITAS observations from 2016-2019 show seasonal TeV detections of LS I +61 303 that the authors interpret as consistent with the source's previously reported superorbital modulation.
