Abstract

The shipment of the LSST Camera from SLAC National Lab in California to Rubin Observatory in Chile was completed successfully in spring 2024 after extensive road and flight testing of the Camera’s shipping container. Prior to final shipment, two local driving tests and one full test shipment from California to Chile were completed with a mass simulator to validate the performance of the wire rope isolator system by collecting data on acceleration events and vibration modes. This paper presents the results from the second test drive as well as the final shipment of the LSST Camera and associated hardware to the observatory.
