The Vera C. Rubin Observatory will soon begin its decade-long Legacy Survey of Space and Time, or LSST, monitoring the entire sky over the southern hemisphere thousands of times over. A mission this huge requires a camera of equal magnitude. is on hand to provide just that. Scientists and engineers at SLAC have officially completed the LSST camera, the largest digital camera ever built, for Rubin's pioneering 10-year survey.
images take on distinctive"diffraction spikes" that make the origins of these images obvious. So, what will be distinctive about the images generated by the LSST Camera and Rubin? One of the main advantages of the LSST survey will be the fact that it repeatedly looks at the same patch of the sky over and over again. This will allow scientists to precisely monitor any changes that occur in that region over the course of 10 years. brighten and fade, observing curvatures of light coming from distant sources caused by the gravity of passing matter peak of Cerro Pachón in the Andes.
The team has already tested the route the LSST Camera will take using a"mass surrogate" of the same weight and shape as the camera. This proxy was fitted out with accelerometers that tested for stresses that will act on the LSST camera, including those likely to impart as it journeys to Chile via airplane.
