Scientific paper

The proposed 319 m2Deg2 etendue Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) is only one component of an end-to-end astronomical survey facility to acquire, process, analyze, catalog, and maintain the world's largest database of optical astronomical data. The sky coverage will be full hemisphere from the site on Cerro Pachon in northern Chile. From its 2000 exposures in six bands from 320-1050 nm per 10 square degree field, LSST will also open the time domain for studies of transient and moving objects. This poster will present the integrating system concepts for the LSST Observatory from the telescope to the Data Centers that support the key science deliverables and individual users. The strategy and timelines for bringing this system to fruition will be reviewed. The ability to support many science missions from a single database has lead to broad support from the community.
