LSST Partners and Sponsors

The effort to build the LSST is overseen by the LSST Corporation, founded by Research Corporation, the University of Arizona, the University of Washington, and the National Optical Astronomy Observatory. In addition to these institutions, the LSST is actively being supported and developed by more than one hundred astronomers, physicists, and engineers throughout the country who see the LSST as the next big leap in charting the heavens, an exciting technological challenge, and a new model for doing big science. The Corporation is actively seeking additional member institutions who can make major contributions to the project. Contact us to find out how.
