Neutral Buoyancy Lab - 6.2 Million Gallons H2O.
Inside are mock-ups of International Space Station nodes and the long item is a mock-up of the ISS Truss. The dots on the modules are air holes to prevent the pieces from floating to the surface.
Shown above is the hypobaric Chamber in which we trained to get accustomed to conditions in micro-gravity. 
We are shown at right geared up for the chamber and are pleased to say that we all successfully completed the requirements for flight.

There are many exciting career opportunities for Parkisde students at NASA NBL and other NASA facilities.
