The LSST Project Office is pleased to announce the promotion of Iain Goodenow to Lead Systems Administrator. Iain has worked with LSST for 10 years and has served the Project with expertise and adeptness during that time. This past year has been one of extraordinary growth for the LSST Project. Through it all, Iain has continued to provide calm and professional service to an ever expanding LSST network that reaches beyond its Tucson headquarters to our LSST offices in Chile and our colleagues at NCSA, UW, SLAC, IPAC, UC Davis, Princeton, and other remote locations. His continued forward thinking has allowed LSST to keep up with daily demands on its systems with improved efficiencies. Join us in congratulating Iain on the outstanding performance that led to his promotion and wish him luck in all his future endeavors.
Financial support for Rubin Observatory comes from the National Science Foundation (NSF) through Cooperative Support Agreement No. 1202910, the Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science under Contract No. DE-AC02-76SF00515, and private funding raised by the LSST Corporation. The NSF-funded Rubin Observatory Project Office for construction was established as an operating center under management of the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA). The DOE-funded effort to build the the Rubin Observatory LSST Camera (LSSTCam) is managed by the SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (SLAC).
The National Science Foundation (NSF) is an
independent federal agency created by Congress
in 1950 to promote the progress of science. NSF supports basic research and people to create knowledge that transforms the future.
NSF and DOE will continue to support Rubin Observatory in its Operations phase. They will also provide support for scientific research with LSST data.
