SodiumStars as Maunakea spare and for KAPA at Keck I

2019 saw two more SodiumStars going to Maunakea, one as a common spare for Keck, Gemini and Subaru Observatories and another one for the upcoming KAPA system at Keck I telescope. Since by now the guys at Keck are very experienced with our lasers, not a lot of work was necessary from our side to install the systems in Hawaii.
