The primary subsystems of the LSST are the Camera, Telescope and Site 3, Data Management 4, and Education and Public Outreach portal and are being designed and manufactured across several countries with the final telescope residing at the summit of Cerro Pachón in Chile. LSST is a state-of-the-art observatory utilizing a fast slewing and settling telescope, scheduler 2, the world’s largest camera, and petabyte scale data management system generating both alerts (within 60 seconds of a visit’s image readout) and data releases, resulting in a system that is optimized to meet the project’s science requirements at the end of its nominal 10 year survey using a single wide-fast-deep survey. Ranked as the top ground-based national priority in the field of Astronomy for the current decade, the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) 1 is currently under construction in Chile.
