摘要
In the last couple of years, the Rubin telescope and site subsystem has made tremendous progress and overcome a few challenges. The insulated cladding on the dome is done and work is now focused on finishing the louvers, weatherproof cladding, interior work, light baffles, and the final fabrications. This has been done concurrently with the installation of the telescope mount, now mostly complete and approaching the beginning of functional testing in September-October, 2022. While work is being done on these two major subsystems, other major components and systems are being integrated and tested in a system spread configuration: M1M3 & M2 mirrors, the camera hexapod/rotator and the control software, including elements of the active optics control and the commissioning camera. Finally, the calibration system - an important contributor to achieving the exquisite photometry required by the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) - is being finalized. This paper provides the high-level status of the telescope integration and test in preparation for further commissioning.
