VOPO relocation was very smooth overall.
VOPO spacer (picture 1) was put in place in HAM7. The spacer didn't have any of the helicoils for 1/4-20, so we had to put them in place.
VOPO platform was moved to a lift cart, wrapped in C3 cover (2nd picture), moved to a big clean roon in the LVEA and unwrapped (3rd pic).
4th pic shows the VOPO attached to the installation arm with the tooling. (Note the aluminum spacer between the VOPO and the lift cart. This is the same spacer that was used when we uninstalled VOPO from HAM6.) We had to remove two balance weight bars at the side to lift the VOPO high enough.
After it was placed on the spacer, three persons needed to push and pull it a bit to set the yaw angle right while the VOPO base plate still contacts with two alignment pins on the spacer.
Georgia went in to HAM7 and used dog clamps for +Y and +X sides (5th pic) , I did -Y and -X sides. Two balance weight bars were reattached at this point.
6th and 7th pic show the newly installed VOPO in HAM7.
We pinched one long in-vac cable between the installation arm and the -Y side door flange while trying to move the installation arm out of the way. Externally, the insulation sheath looks somewhat deformed (8th pic) but it's not clear if there's internal damage. There's another cable in the 8th picture next to this cable, it shows similar deformed-looking sheath at similar location but that one wasn't pinched.
DCC and SN of this are D1000225-230" #1, S1104241 (pic 9 and 10).
Travis also took a lot of pictures.
More baby pics for Zucker et al.
Bonus picture: I happened to walk up to the crowd of successful installers right as they were finishing up.

Travis was standing next to me -- but the pictures above show that!
Beautiful! Congrats!
