Pan-STARRS — the Panoramic Survey Telescope & Rapid Response System — is a wide-field imaging telescope developed at the University of Hawaii’s Institute for Astronomy. Pan-STARRS uses 1.4 gigapixel ccd mosaics cosisting of 64 x 64 arrays of subCCDs, each containing approximately 600 x 600 pixels. The array is spherically curved and constructed at Lincoln Labs. Lincoln is delivering similar arrays in support of DARPA’s Space Surveillance Telescope.
