[en] The E-TEST project involves the development of new key technologies for the next generation of GW observatories. This includes designing a low-frequency compact isolator system for a large silicon mirror (100 kg), implementing radiative cooling of the mirror at cryogenic temperatures (22 K), developing cryogenic sensors and electronics, and developing optical components and lasers operating in the range above 1500 nm. Such key technologies provided by E-TEST are crucial for bypassing the limitations of the current generation of GW observatories and determining the technical design for the Einstein Telescope. In this context, the poster presents the status of the ongoing activities of E-TEST, sharing experimental results of the first run of the isolator inside the vacuum chamber.
