Description
We present a summary of SDSS V Fiber Positioning System (FPS) operations through the present, including roughly one and a half years at Apache Point Observatory (APO) and 10 months at Las Campanas Observatory. We provide a high level summary of progress at the robot-configuration level, as well as a brief summary of progress towards specific science programs. We further compare to simulations of the survey and discuss various assumptions in the simulations that might affect our comparison. Finally, we highlight some areas where the survey is underperforming.
