Abstract

The Rubin Observatory has entered its latter stages of the construction effort with system integration, test and commissioning. All system elements are coming together including components of the telescope, the science camera and software systems for control and data processing. In this paper we report on the progress, status, plans and schedule for integrating the system elements into a fully functional observatory to carry out the 10-year Legacy Survey of Space and Time.
