NASA Buoyancy Lab….now that’s a big pool!

The NBL was sized to perform two activities simultaneously; each uses mockups sufficiently large to produce meaningful training content and duration. It is 202 ft in length, 102 ft in width, and 40 ft in depth (20 ft above ground level and 20 ft below) and holds 6.2 million gallons of water. For those of us that are Earthbound, a smaller sized backyard pool might be just perfect.
