Primary/Tertiary Mirror (M1M3) moved from Mirror Lab to Storage

On May 19, 2015, the completed LSST Primary/Tertiary Mirror (M1M3) was safely moved from the UA’s Richard F. Caris Mirror Lab (formerly SOML) to long-term secure storage at Tucson International Airport. Contractor Precision Heavy Haul executed the eight-mile, three-hour move under the supervision of LSST technical and safety personnel. The mirror move is the culmination of years of hard work and dedication from the LSST technical team, the mirror lab, and generous support from the LSST Corporation and private donors.
