This is NASA's Neutral Buoyancy Laboratory, also known as NBL Pool, the place where astronauts conduct underwater training. It is located at Sunny Carter Training Facility in Houston, Texas. This pool will help the astronauts to train properly by creating a simulated weightless environment. The water in the NBL Pool is recycled every 19.6 hours, and the pool holds more than 23 million liters of water.
