GS-13 SN 68
GS-13 pod number 68 arrived with damaged flexures from shipping some time ago. After replacing the broken flexures, re-sealing the pod and filling it with Neon, I leak checked it in the modified VBO A.

Initially I had some issues with an errant signal of Neon, but this was because I had forgotten to lower the ionizing voltage. Argon from a small air leak was doubly ionizing and appearing as Neon in the RGA. After lowering the voltage to 50v everything cleaned up nicely.

The GS-13 tested good, coming out under the 3e-10 torr L/s leak rate requirement set by the VRB.
