- techdragon 3y agoShame they don’t give you any extra certification or recognition for more than two years of learning about the care and maintenance of cryogenic high vacuum systems… that’s a whole persons job in some places! I’m not looking forward to thermal vacuum testing for my robots… because I don’t think there’s a big enough chamber in Australia… option one is (assuming funding) building a thermal vacuum chamber that can get down to GEO level vacuum with all the fun a large volume vacuum system entails… option two is shipping the entire thing to a friendly country with larger chambers (ESA in EU or NASA in the USA) but then there’s the space technology export paperwork … and I don’t know which would be worse.
