The Sonny Carter Training Facility (SCTF) provides controlled neutral buoyancy operations to simulate the zero-g or weightless
condition that is experienced by spacecraft and crew during space flight. It is an essential tool for the design, testing and
development of the International Space Station and future NASA programs. For the astronaut, the facility provides important pre-flight
training for extravehicular activities (EVA) and with the dynamics of body motion under weightless conditions. Also, be sure to read the
rationale behind building the NBL -- a "better, faster, cheaper" solution for providing quality EVA preparations.
