Inspection of the Rubin summit facility on Cerro Pachón 2 September 2020
An earthquake of magnitude 6.8 was recorded in Chile on 1 September 2020, affecting the regions of Antofagasta, Atacama, Coquimbo, Valparaiso, and Metropolitana. Shortly after the first quake, a second earthquake (magnitude 6.2) was recorded in approximately the same area. A team from Rubin Observatory was scheduled to do a regular inspection of the summit facility on Cerro Pachón the following day. They paid particular attention to infrastructure that might have been affected by the earthquakes, but found no significant damage.
