Can STACIS Vibration Isolation Systems be Used in Vacuum Environments?

Yeah. So stasis, you know, generally can't be used in vacuum environments. And and there's a couple reasons for that. One, it's an it's an electro mechanical system, which means it needs you know, you need to somehow figure out a way to get power to it. So if you've gotta run the cables to it, you gotta run it through your vacuum, and it's kinda difficult to create seals to run run electric cable through. But it's not undoable, but the big but the mirror the more important reasons are, one, if you're in a vacuum, we're dealing with safe isolators as electronics, and they also run a very, very high voltage. So so when you take the air out of electric system, you've got basically no die no dielectric, no resistance between places where there could be upstipolarity and have potential for electrical arcing. So we have, you know, a very, very high is used in stasis to expand and attract the piezos. And if you don't have air there to prevent arcing the isolator will likely have serious performance issues. The other reason is, Stasis contains various components of out gas like epoxies and rubber cables and wires and and solder and and soft spring like dammit components and things like that, which also have gas. So, you know, when you put something that outgasses in a vacuum environment and you reduce the outside air pressure, it's just gonna accelerate that outgassing. So what you'll find is if you're trying to keep a sterile vacuum environment, you put a high out gas structure in it, you have high potential of not rooting your environment by accelerating that ice not the outgassing. So so really, it's not designed for use in in vacuum environments. What they did, they wanted to figure out how much it outgassed. So they put it in a vacuum to measure that outgassed. So they intentionally outgassed it in a vacuum. So that's how the outgassing test works. But they were in a clean room environment, and they were concerned that the outgassing would cause problems with the clean room filters and whatever other operations they were doing there.
