Corner Station Vacuum Envelope Open To The Arms

(Jordan, Travis, Gerardo)
Today we opened GV5 and GV7, no issues opening both gate valves.  Instrument air pressure to open the gate valves was 45 psi, and both of them were set at 55 psi to remain open.  The turbo pumps that were on, YBM and XBM main turbo pumps, were stopped, they'll be powered off tomorrow, they need time to stop spinning.  After, the purge air compressor and dryer tower was turned off and powered off.  The corner station vacuum envelope is back to nominal.
