The LSST Project acquired the Calypso 1.2m Telescope
currently in operation on Kitt Peak. LSST plans to use the telescope in place to conduct unique scientific investigations in support of calibration plans and to prototype hardware and software components. LSST further plands to move the telescope to Chile and install it for use as the LSST calibration telescope. Calypso's development was led and funded by Edgar O. Smith in the late 1990s to perform leading edge science and support Smith's personal interest in high-resolution imaging of globular cluster.(Image credit: LSST Corporation)
