Scientific paper

The Dark Energy Survey is planning to use a 3 sq. deg. camera that houses an 0.5m diameter focal plane of 62 2kx4k CCDs. The camera vessel including the optical window cell, focal plate, focal plate mounts, cooling system and thermal controls is described. As part of the development of the mechanical and cooling design, a full scale prototype camera vessel has been constructed and is being commissioned for multi-CCD readout tests. Results from this prototype camera are also described.
