ABOUT SPT-3G
The SPT is a 10-meter diameter microwave / millimeter / sub-millimeter telescope located at the NSF Amundsen-Scott South Pole Station, which is the best currently operational site on Earth for mm-wave survey observations due to its stable, dry atmosphere. SPT is pursuing some of the most compelling questions in science: What is the origin of the Universe? What is the Universe made of? What is the fate of the Universe? What is dark energy? What are the neutrino masses? Are there new, undiscovered particle species in the early Universe? Is General Relativity the correct description of gravity? When did the first stars, galaxies, and structures form, and how did they evolve?

Data Services
The National Center for Supercomputing Applications (NCSA) at the University of Illinois develops and operates data services for SPT-3G.
At NCSA, we are innovating both at the scientific application level – such as the cutout service – and at the level of the research platform, where our Kubernetes-based deployment provides reproducibility, scalability, and the flexibility modern scientific enterprise demands.
