The LSST Team
More than 260 collaborators attended the LSST All-Hands Meeting in August, 2012.
The effort to build the LSST is overseen by the LSST Corporation and 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, probing nature, an exciting technological challenge, and a new model for doing big science.

- Community Input
- Science Working Groups, chaired by Michael Strauss of Princeton University, represents the scientific community in developing the science programs that will use LSST data. We also have a parallel mechanism for LSST community science program suggestions. These inputs have resulted in key deliverables and a Science Requirements Document [PDF 342KB]. We welcome suggestions for additional science programs that would be enabled by the LSST. Join the Mission!

- Science Council
- The LSST Science Council (SC) is a primary body chartered to monitor the technical development of the LSST to ensure that it will meet its science requirements. The SC is empowered to make final science decisions on behalf of the entire LSST project. These decisions are presented by the SC chair for approval by the Director, Project Manager and the LSST Board of Directors.
