Testing Rubin's Commissioning Camera
The Commissioning Camera (ComCam) imager was restarted shortly after ComCam was mounted on the integrator assembly, in the integration hall of the summit facility (Level 3), in August. The integrator assembly, which will be integrated with the TMA in early 2022, is resting on the main camera transport cart and includes ComCam, the refrigeration pathfinder, camera rotator and hexapod, camera cable wrap, and various utilities. ComCam continues to operate, and is providing a valuable test platform for system verification and commissioning activities. Testing of the integration assembly is also underway, with a current focus on full camera rotator range verification.
