The Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) is a 10-year US survey where the entire Southern Sky will be imaged every few days starting in 2023. The dataset will provide the highest resolution and sensitivity images ever recorded as well as 10 million alerts per day to transient objects, transforming many areas of astrophysics. The 8.4m telescope is under construction in Chile with over 1000 scientists from 25+ countries already involved. This proposal supports in-kind contributions to LSST, providing membership of LSST to 45 Australian astronomers and their students. Expected outcomes include training of young researchers in big data, strong international links and enhanced capacity for Australian leadership in astrophysics research.

《时空的传统调查》（LSST）是一项为期10年的美国调查，从2023年开始每隔几天就会成像整个南方天空。数据集将提供有史以来记录的最高分辨率和敏感性图像，以及每天每天的1000万个警报来进行短暂的物体，从而改变许多天体物理学领域。 840万望远镜正在智利建造，其中有1000多名来自25个国家的科学家已经参与其中。该建议支持对LSST的实物贡献，从而为LSST提供了45名澳大利亚天文学家及其学生的成员资格。预期的结果包括对大数据的年轻研究人员的培训，牢固的国际联系以及提高澳大利亚天体物理学领导能力的能力。
