Questions for a first conversation

Which chamber configuration and current capability can support the proposed test before the funded upgrades are complete?
ACE has operating test services, while the May 2026 announcement describes expansion. A project should distinguish available equipment from planned upgrades and confirm its own standards and access requirements.
