Live stream of the 1.1 GHz magnet delivery.

Starting FRIDAY, JUNE 28, 2024 at 8:30 AM ET.

Update: 11:19 The 1.1 GHz magnet is getting ready to be moved into the building.

A worker guides a large, plastic-wrapped 1.1 GHz magnet being lifted by a crane for magnet delivery, with a forklift and other construction equipment nearby on the paved site. Trees and greenery are in the background.

Update: 11:15 Inner and outer hatch have been removed (below).

Several large wooden crates and a crane are outside near a bike rack; red text labels point to an Inner Hatch and Outer Hatch on a crate, part of the 1.1 GHz magnet delivery featured on the live stream.

Update: 10:56 Outer hatch has been removed (below). The inner hatch is next.

A yellow crane lifts a large rectangular object during a magnet delivery near a house, with trees and a partly cloudy sky in the background.

Update: 10:44 Getting ready to open the hatch!
There’s an outer hatch section (roof) and an inner hatch section (ceiling).

Update: 10:30 Moving the crated magnet to uncrate.

Update: 10:10 The riggers are getting ready to attach the cables used to hold the magnet (below).

Two construction workers stand and kneel on pavement near an array of cables laid out in parallel, preparing for a magnet delivery. Large wooden crates and equipment, possibly including a 1.1 GHz magnet, are visible nearby.

Update: 9:49 More counterweights for the crane (below).

A large yellow crane is parked on a concrete surface near a brown building, its stabilizers deployed and hook suspended overhead for a 1.1 GHz magnet delivery.

Update: 9: 33 Adding counterweights to the crane (below).

A large yellow crane lifts a metal plate onto a flatbed truck during a magnet delivery outside a building, with trees and a road in the background.

Update: 9: 14 Crane assembly (below).

A large yellow crane lifts materials, including a 1.1 GHz magnet, from a flatbed truck outside a building, with workers and trees visible in the background.

Update: 9:04 The crane (below) is being set up.

A large yellow construction crane stands behind a building, surrounded by trees and greenery under a clear blue sky, preparing for a magnet delivery.

Update: 8:50 The crates are being brought into the building and staged. The picture below is of one of the crates being moved to the loading dock.

A large yellow crane lifts a wooden crate, possibly containing a 1.1 GHz magnet, near a building with two men standing nearby and bicycles parked against the wall.

Update: 8:31 The crane (pictured below) needs to be set up, the crates moved off of the truck, and the magnet uncrated before the NMR facility hatch will be removed. Art Edison is taking pictures which will be made available later. We will continue to provide updates here as the process progresses.

A flatbed semi-truck loaded with large wooden crates—possibly for a 1.1 GHz magnet delivery—is parked on a road surrounded by trees.

Update: Friday, June 28, 2024 8:18, the magnet has arrived! The largest crate on the truck in the picture below is the magnet.
