Abstract

The LSST Camera is a complex, highly integrated instrument for the Vera C. Rubin Observatory. Now that the assembly is complete, we present the highlights of the LSST Camera assembly: successful installation of all Raft Tower Modules (RTM) into the cryostat, integration of the world’s largest lens with the camera body, and successful integration and testing of the shutter and filter exchange systems. While the integration of the LSST Camera is a story of success, there were challenges faced along the way which we present: component failures, late design changes, and facility infrastructure issues.
