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. There are also tutorials for the observatory. This section of documentation focuses on the resources needed for observers, commissioning personnel, and support staff to facilitate night-time operations. This site also provides information for safety reference.

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.
