NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory's Legacy Survey of Space and Time

The Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) is a planned 10-year survey of the southern sky that will take place at the NSF-DOE Vera C. Rubin Observatory, located on the El Peñon peak of Cerro Pachón in northern Chile.

Simons Observatory

Currently under construction in Chile’s Atacama Desert, the Simons Observatory (SO) is a next-generation observatory that will look for signs of cosmic inflation and answer fundamental questions about the origin of the Universe.
