LSST Camera Installation Time-lapse

Time-lapse footage of the LSST Camera being installed on the Simonyi Survey Telescope at NSF–DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory in March 2025. The team on the summit used Rubin’s vertical platform lift to move the LSST Camera up to the telescope floor onto a transport cart. Following a carefully planned procedure, the team then used a custom lifting device to carefully position and secure the LSST Camera on the telescope for the first time.
