Description
The Local Volume Mapper (LVM) is an IFU survey of the Milky Way and the Magellanic Clouds, as observed from las Campanas Observatory in Chile. The telescope and instrument have been assembled on site in early 2023, with science commissioning and observations due to begin in June 2023. In this talk I will present an overview of the LVM, giving details of the current status of operations and the commissioning activities. I will also discuss some of the early science projects and any early science results obtained by the time of the meeting.
