National Historic Landmark - Zero Gravity Research Facility

National Historic Landmark - Zero Gravity Research Facility

This facility was used by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration to study the physics of handling liquids in a zero-gravity environment.

Knowledge of the characteristics of liquids in a low-gravity environment is highly important to spacecraft design, and is crucial to successful performance of high-energy liquid-fuel spacecraft.
