Major telescope for tracking synoptic already have primary mirror that measures 8.4 meters. The LSST map the sky with his camera of three mega pixels producing 30 thousand terabytes of images per night and the largest global database.

The telescope is being built at the “Cerro Pachon” Chilean height of 2745 meters to take a picture every 15 seconds with the camera device that will be the largest and most powerful digital world. Interpret each image in two seconds.

The LSST project will be a public service where the resulting database will be 150 Peta Bytes and will be available without restrictions on ownership. The telescope will prepare a map of the sky and will explore the mysteries of matter, supernovae, near-earth asteroids or distant objects in the Kuiper belt.

The information generated by the LSST will be transmitted to the control center at the University of Arizona through a network of 2.5 Gbps and made available to scientists and the public in real time, creating a gigantic database.

Google and Microsoft are participating in the project with donations that according to Anthony Tyson, director of the LSST “opens a new window on the universe, providing the discoveries in various fields of astronomy and physics.”

It is expected to complete its construction in 2013.
