NEW TURBO PUMPING VERTEX!

We spun up the new ATH2303 maglev turbo on vertex volume at ~ 550 mTorr, backed by iLIGO QDP80 roughing pump. It took 35 minutes to come up to full speed (31,000 rpm) and foreline rose to 1.6 Torr. Turbo temp fluctuated between 19-22C and electronics 35-42C.

Once we reach hard vacuum (e-3 Torr) and then wait four hours to honor our viewport safety guidelines, HAM6 in-chamber work may resume. I will let the operator know and make a log entry at that point.

Great looking vacuum crew! Who cares if the pump sucks.
