LSST Mirror Moved to Storage at Tucson Airport

LSST Mirror Moved to Storage at Tucson Airport

The LSST Mirror project reached another milestone Tuesday when it was transported from the Richard F. Caris Mirror Lab to storage at the Tucson Airport. It will remain there until it is time to ship it to Chile. The Arizona Daily Star has a nice article about the move, three photos, and a video. LSST is expected to begin normal science operations in early 2022 after a commissioning phase. LSST information is always available at this link. The UA press release is found HERE.
