Raft Integration Progress

At SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory, the LSST Camera Integration and Test (I&T) team continues to integrate production rafts with the camera cryostat at the SLAC IR2 Cleanroom Facility. So far, I&T has installed the four Corner Raft Tower Modules (CRTMs) and four Raft Tower Modules (RTMs). Photos of the installation progress are available at this link. I&T will install another five RTMs during this first phase of focal plane integration, which is expected to be completed in early September. I&T will install the remaining 12 RTMs in a second phase of integration, which is expected to continue into the fourth quarter of calendar year 2019.
