π« New component moves into FAIR! The GLAD #vacuumchamber is the first major component installed for NUSTAR and itβs a central element of the R3B (Reactions with Relativistic Radioactive Beams) experiment.
π© GLAD weighs around 15 tons, so transporting it required careful planning and precise execution. Congratulations to the team on a job well done!
