NSF -DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory installiert die LSST -Kamera auf Teleskop

So my coworker’s son working on this is super excited – this was a huge moment they were all waiting for. The world-famous LSST camera has been fully installed and ready to be tested now. The testing phase will begin very soon right after they’re done with all the diagnostics.

> The LSST Camera is the largest digital camera ever built. Weighing over 3000 kilograms, the 3200-megapixel camera is at the center of Rubin Observatory’s optical system, which also features an 8.4-meter combined primary/tertiary mirror and a 3.5-meter secondary mirror. Rubin Observatory’s innovative design enables it to simultaneously capture faint objects and objects that change in position or brightness within its wide field of view.

Also glad to know that the DOE support is still on with this one.
