The Q4 2007 Engineering Review for the Large Binocular Telescope (LBT) highlights key advancements in the development of infrared test cameras (IRTC). Notable achievements include the successful acceptance test of Camera #1 in November, showcasing good performance and construction quality. However, the project faced challenges, including a tight schedule with a five-month delay, albeit with negligible impact. Progress for IRTC #1 and IRTC #2 involved critical optical alignment and mechanical-electrical integration, leading to future deliveries in January and February 2008.
