@MattGialich@anu_bonth This is a process engineering problem. The volume and milliTor needed to evacuate should drive the sizing/power of the two stages: roughing pump and the diffusion pump.
@MattGialich You're pushing your engineers at a good pace. Get test datapoint and move on. If pretty test setups was the goal, then sure, spend time cutting every thermocouple to size and planning where each one is routed. Non-recurring thermal testing is a means to an ends: ship spacecraft.
@yacineMTB It's difficult to determine how successful an experiment is. Although, the only real failure is neglecting to realize what you've gained from trying something new.
@_Stocko_ Debian Trixie.
My qualifications: Fedora vibe coder with 3 months experience spending every other coding sesh nuking and reinstalling my OS because Fedora's default graphics driver, nouveau, and the proprietary NVIDIA drivers never play nice, causing a blackscreen after login.
