LSST Operations: Sites & Data FLows

This graphic illustrates data flow between multiple sites during LSST Operations.The LSST Data Management System begins at the data acquisition interface between camera and telescope subsystems and flows through to the data products accessed by end users. On the way, it moves through three types of managed facilities supporting data management, as well as end user sites that may conduct science using LSST data or pipeline resources on their own computing infrastructure.
