Abstract
The Vera C. Rubin Observatory is the result of a public-private partnership between the USA National Science Foundation (NSF), the lead Federal Agency of the project, the Department of Energy and the Association Of Universities For Research In Astronomy (AURA), and the LSST Corporation. EIE GROUP has developed the Detail Design, the Manufacturing, and the Erection on Site of the giant Rotating Building. In this regard, 2021 was a year full of successes for the development of the project.
