Rubin #CommissioningNotes ✍️: Winter is coming 🥶
It was a chilly week this week at Cerro Pachón in Chile. But our team kept up their commissioning and calibration work, continuing to bring @NSF–@doescience Rubin Observatory up to full operation as a cohesive system.
🧵
Rubin #CommissioningNotes ✍️: we’re one month into on-sky testing with the LSST Camera!
The letter of the week was “c”: calibrations, computing, commissioning, and sCattered light investigations.
(Yes, we stretched that last one—but the science is solid!)
🧵
Rubin #CommissioningNotes ✍️: The data deluge from NSF–DOE Rubin Observatory is coming!
Rubin captured over 500 exposures per night across 3 nights last week with its automated observation scheduler — 20x more than during the 7-wk period with the engineering camera last year!

Rubin #CommissioningNotes ✍️: On-sky engineering tests continued this week!
The team started tuning image quality control systems in real survey-like conditions. LSST Camera is performing smoothly and has captured over 5,000 sky exposures so far (that’s 15 trillion pixels!)
🧵
Eye to the sky…on-sky engineering tests have begun at @NSF–@doescience Rubin Observatory with the world’s largest camera!
After installing & testing the LSST Camera, we turned the telescope to the sky—a moment 20 years in the making!

✍️Rubin #CommissioningNotes, entry 5️⃣: we’re making gains💪
Efficiency has been the name of the game for the past two weeks! As our team addresses the causes of data-taking interruptions, fewer interruptions occur—meaning even more data overall📈

✍️ Rubin #CommissioningNotes, entry 4️⃣: whoaaa, we’re halfway there 🎶
Halfway through data-taking with Rubin’s test camera, that is. Our team has continued to make great progress testing Rubin’s systems with ComCam.

✍️ Rubin #CommissioningNotes, entry 2️⃣: when you turn it on and it works 🤌
Initial tests with Rubin's test camera, ComCam, showed the telescope was already nearly aligned before even looking at the sky — a testament to decades of work!
🧵
Commissioning is the process of testing, troubleshooting, & aligning the different parts & software of Rubin into one complete system.
Stay tuned for updates & details, & join us on this adventure toward a complete Rubin Observatory as we log progress in our #CommissioningNotes!
Welcome to Rubin's #CommissioningNotes! Entry 1️⃣: we're in full swing!
Ok, but what's "commissioning?"
Rubin Observatory is the result of millions of hours of work by thousands of people around the world -- and now all that work is coming together!
