Introduction

In 2014, the LSST:UK consortium submitted to PPRP a proposal that outlined a baseline programme for the LSST:UK Science Centre (LUSC) - the STFC-funded activity in support of UK participation in what is now the Vera C. Rubin Observatory’s Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) - and made a specific request for the funding for the first tranche of funding (Phase A), covering initial preparatory work in the period 2015-2019. PPRP subsequently considered the proposal for Phase B (2019-2023) and now it is time to prepare the proposal for Phase C (1/4/23-31/3/27).

The original baseline programme envisaged funding for two strands of PPRP-funded activity, namely LUSC-DAC (preparation and operation of a UK Data Access Centre for hosting, and enabling analysis of, LSST data) and LUSC-DEV (development of software leading to what are now called User-generated Products), plus associated management effort. Both LUSC-DAC and LUSC-DEV were designed to maximise UK scientific return from STFC investment in LSST data rights, which were originally expected to be provided through a subscription model for international partners.
