Basque know-how for the world’s most advanced telescope

Mapping the entire sky visible from Earth by means of high precision images

The IK4-TEKNIKER technology centre is to play an outstanding role in the development of the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST) to be commissioned in Chile in 2020.

Mapping the entire sky visible from planet Earth by means of high precision images. This is the ultimate goal of the Large Synoptic Survey Telescope (LSST), an ambitious international project that is to incorporate Basque know-how. In fact, IK4-TEKNIKER, the Basque Technology centre, will be involved in the design and development of control and safety systems, will ensure camera cable rotation and deliver protective roofing for the mirrors to be fitted on this state-of-the-art scientific installation.
