Before the Great War, Griffith Observatory was sponsored by the Vault-Tec Corporation and was designated as a "Science & Friendship Center." The observatory survived the Great War, albeit damaged.

Several civilian NCR citizens inhabit the settlement around the observatory.

In 2296, after the Vault 32 raiders attacked Vault 33. Moldaver kidnapped the Overseer Hank MacLean and took him to the Griffith Observatory, where the New California Republic had a headquarters and kept him inside a cage. When the time was right, she would force him to use the activate code to start up the power system once the cold fusion technology sample arrived. 
Lucy eventually arrived at the observatory with the head of Siggi Wilzig containing the fusion tech sample, which was then handed over to Moldaver in exchange for her father's freedom. Moldaver subsequently explained the whole purpose of her actions and revealed Hank's true identity. At Lucy's request, the latter grudgingly gave Moldaver his Vault-Tec credentials to activate the fusion reactor within the observatory.
Later the same day, the Brotherhood of Steel attacked the settlement under Maximus' guidance to retrieve the cold fusion technology. In the subsequent battle, Moldaver and the NCR forces defended the observatory for several hours. The Brotherhood also took casualties, but the NCR forces were still overpowered and overwhelmed by nightfall. Most of the NCR forces, including Moldaver herself, were killed in battle, leaving the observatory and the cold fusion technology in Brotherhood hands.Fallout TV series, season 1, episode 8, "The Beginning"
