The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) and the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) Office of Science will support Rubin Observatory in its operations phase to carry out the Legacy Survey of Space and Time. They will also provide support for scientific research with the data. During operations, NSF funding is managed by the Association of Universities for Research in Astronomy (AURA) under a cooperative agreement with NSF, and DOE funding is managed by SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory (SLAC), under contract by DOE. Rubin Observatory is operated by NSF NOIRLab and SLAC.

NSF is an independent federal agency created by Congress in 1950 to promote the progress of science. NSF supports basic research and people to create knowledge that transforms the future.

The DOE Office of Science is the single largest supporter of basic research in the physical sciences in the United States and is working to address some of the most pressing challenges of our time.

    • Conceptual illustration of a multi-messenger astrophysical event. In the top left, two neutron stars are colliding in a bright blue burst of energy. The collision emits several different types of signals, which are being detected by different telescopes and facilities illustrated on Earth in the lower right. Gravitational waves are represented by bright and dark bands spiraling outward from the colliding neutron stars. Subatomic particles called neutrinos radiate from the collision as dashed lines, and light radiates as squiggly lines. A meandering, looping solid line that comes from somewhere else beyond the collision represents a cosmic ray, which expands into a fan-shaped spray at the Earth’s atmosphere.
