Today we reached a huge milestone in our project by testing the vacuum system. We only tested the roughing pump because we didn't have access to liquid nitrogen which we need for the diffusion pump. The test went wonderfully. In fact, the roughing pump outperformed our expectations by getting the pressure in the vacuum chamber down to about 10^-4 torr.
