The Rubin Observatory Observatory Team

The effort to build Rubin Observatory is a partnership between public and private organizations, which is actively being supported and developed by more than one hundred astronomers, physicists, and engineers spanning the globe. They see Rubin Observatory as the next big leap in charting the heavens and probing nature's mysteries as well as an exciting technological challenge and a new model for doing science with big data.
