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¶
Content in this section relates to personnel safety and resources. This includes:
procedures on who (and how) to call when there is an issue
location of keys, passwords etc
what to do in case of vehicle failure, power-outage, fire etc.
Procedures to enter telescope spaces during operations (e.g. AuxTel)
Emergency meeting locations etc.
