The T&S group met with designers from CAID, Inc. to perform a hazard analysis of the M1M3 cart system. CAID is under contract to provide final design of the M1M3 cart, along with the M1M3 Cell Weldment. This meeting provided a good opportunity to cooperatively discuss functional requirements to ensure safe operation will be provided by the design of the system and choice of components.

New pictures of ongoing Telescope Mount Assembly Fabrication (TMA) in Spain can be found in the Telescope Gallery.

M. Juric, interim Data Management (DM) Lead, and J. Becla, interim Project Manager for DM traveled to Tucson this week for productive sessions with the Science Quality and Reliability Engineering (SQuaRE) team and the Project Office.

The Camera team announced its award for filter coatings to Materion Precision Optics in Westford MA. See, http://www.materion.com/Precisionoptics

Noticias del Proyecto

El Grupo T&S se reunió con diseñadores de CAID, Inc. para realizar un análisis de peligros del sistema de carro M1M3. CAID está bajo contrato para proporcionar el diseño final del carro M1M3, junto con la soldadura de celda M1M3. Esta reunión ofreció una buena oportunidad para colaborar y discutir los requisitos funcionales para asegurar que un funcionamiento seguro será proporcionado por el diseño del sistema y la selección de componentes.

Financial support for Rubin Observatory comes from the National Science Foundation (NSF) through Cooperative Agreement No. 1258333, the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science under Contract No. DE-AC02-76SF00515, and private funding raised by the LSST Corporation. The NSF-funded Rubin Observatory Project Office for construction was established as an operating center under management of the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA).  The DOE-funded effort to build the Rubin Observatory LSST Camera (LSSTCam) is managed by the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (SLAC).
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is an independent federal agency created by Congress in 1950 to promote the progress of science. NSF supports basic research and people to create knowledge that transforms the future.
NSF and DOE will continue to support Rubin Observatory in its Operations phase. They will also provide support for scientific research with LSST data.
