Testing takes place in the Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory (NBL) at NASA’s Johnson Space Center, where a massive pool simulates microgravity. Student teams submit a proposal and create a prototype of a tool identified by NASA engineers as essential for future missions. During testing, professional NBL divers operate the tools underwater while students oversee and direct the test from the facility’s Test Conductor Room.
Micro-g NExT offers an exciting opportunity for students to make a meaningful contribution to NASA’s ongoing exploration efforts.
