Stainless Steel

I monitor auctions for the University of Florida and saw this item today:

I thought it was interesting.

952 pounds of primarily stainless steel!
Whatever an USV chamber is.

Its looks like a vacuum chamber

I think you are correct.

I believe it is a UHV vacuum chamber, not a USV vacuum chamber. I never found an item that had so many terms in the description that I didn't understand.

As my wife says, "if you don't know what it is or what it does, you don't need it".

Looks a bit like an Unidentified Space Vehicle

For some reason, the site is down today.
There are a lot of people who are going to be unhappy, including me.
I have bids in on several items (not this one) and I can't see what is happening.
It's quite a large auction site and covers government auctions nationwide. I'm guessing something broke.
