  Americans particularly interested in the recent outer space, a willful decision to build a LSST camera (LSST). This equipment volume of 1.6 × 3 meters and weighs 2.8 tons, will carry 189 CCD sensor, taking pictures is as high as 3.2 billion pixels! There is no doubt that this will be the world's most powerful camera.
