Bouyancy LabThe Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory (NBL) is NASA’s astronaut
training facility located at the Johnson Space Center in Houston, Texas.
The NBL is an engineering marvel. It consists of an indoor pool 202 feet
in length, 102 feet wide, 40 feet deep, and contains 6.2 million gallons
of water.That’s 23.5 million liters for you scientists and Europeans!
The pool is used to train astronauts for spacewalks in upcoming
missions. The NBL contains full-sized mock-ups of the International
Space Station (ISS) modules and payloads including an operational
version of the ISS robotic shuttle arm. After the NBL, we’re off to
Rocket Park. It’s a history of the rockets used in the Space
Program.Lots of horsepower!There we’ll see a Saturn V Rocket, the most
powerful rocket ever built. Its design played a major role in
successfully transporting and landing American astronauts on the moon
during the Apollo missions. Over 360 feet tall and parked on its side
for excellent viewing, this Saturn V is one of only three left in
existence. After lunch, you may return to the Resort or visit the San
Jacinto Monument
