Description
The Vera C. Rubin observatory is preparing the execution of the most ambitious astronomical survey ever attempted, the Legacy Survey of Space and Time. Due to start operations late 2024 for 10 years, it will nightly scan the southern sky and collect images of the entire visible sky every 4 nights. Detection of celestial objects will be performed on those images to progressively build an astronomical catalog composed of 20 billion galaxies and 17 billion stars and their associated physical properties.
In this contribution we will present how we envisage using Rucio and FTS to drive continuous push-based replication of raw and derived data among the 3 Rubin data facilities (one in the US and two in Europe) where images are to be stored and processed. We will also address the ongoing development work to integrate Rucio and the LSST-specific data management tools.
