What Does NBF Stand For?

NBF stands for Neutral Buoyancy Facility

NBF, or Neutral Buoyancy Facility, is a specialized underwater environment designed to simulate the microgravity conditions of space. It allows astronauts and researchers to practice and refine their skills in a controlled setting, facilitating the testing of spacecraft components and the execution of various experiments. The facility typically consists of a large pool where subjects can achieve neutral buoyancy, enabling them to float freely and perform tasks as they would in a weightless environment.
