Rubin Observatory Commissioning Camera: summit integration

The Rubin Observatory Commissioning Camera (ComCam) is a scaled down (144 Megapixel) version of the 3.2 Gigapixel LSSTCam which will start the Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST), currently scheduled to start in 2024. The purpose of the ComCam is to verify the LSSTCam interfaces with the major subsystems of the observatory as well as evaluate the overall performance of the system prior to the start of the commissioning of the LSSTCam hardware on the telescope. With the delivery of all the telescope components to the summit site by 2020, the team has already started the high-level interface verification, exercising the system in a steady state model similar to that expected during the operations phase of the project. Notable activities include a simulated "slew and expose" sequence that includes moving the optical components, a settling time to account for the dynamical environment when on the telescope, and then taking an actual sequence of images with the ComCam. Another critical effort is to verify the performance of the camera refrigeration system, and testing the operational aspects of running such a system on a moving telescope in 2022. Here we present the status of the interface verification and the planned sequence of activities culminating with on-sky performance testing during the early-commissioning phase.
