Rubin Observatory Operations Documentation#
Important
This documentation area is under heavy development and only in the very early stages of design. It should not be used nor consulted for a place of information at this time.
Observatory Operations consists of multiple levels of interactions and procedures occurring simultaneously in many places and timezones. This section of documentation focuses on the resources needed for observers, commissioning personnel, and support staff to facilitate night-time operations.
The scope of this area of documentation is to provide a centralized, version controlled space where resources are either located, or linked appropriately. The content is provided as reference only. All aspects of the project that go through strict change control (e.g. mirror procedures) should only be linked to these pages.
Safety: Quick Reference for Nighttime Personnel#
Warning
Safety of personnel first and equipment second is the utmost priority of Rubin Observatory. The safety information here is meant to serve as a quick look for nighttime support staff in case of an emergency on the summit. It does not replace the required safety training to be on the summit at night.
