Résumé

The LSST Camera is the sole instrument for the Vera C. Rubin Observatory and consists of a 3.2 gigapixel focal plane mosaic with in-vacuum controllers, dedicated guider and wavefront CCDs, a three-element corrector whose largest lens is 1.55m in diameter, six optical interference filters covering a 320–1050 nm bandpass with an out-of-plane filter exchange mechanism, and camera slow control and data acquisition systems capable of digitizing each image in 2 seconds. In this paper, we describe the verification testing program performed throughout the Camera integration and results from characterization of the Camera’s performance. These include an electro-optical testing program, measurement of the focal plane height and optical alignment, and integrated functional testing of the Camera’s major mechanisms: shutter, filter exchange system and refrigeration systems. The Camera is due to be shipped to the Rubin Observatory in 2024, and plans for its commissioning on Cerro Pachon are briefly described.
