Fluid Dynamics

Working in the microgravity environment of space presents many challenges to astronauts. Using the ideas behind fluid dynamics, astronauts are better able to prepare for these challenges. This NASA Launchpad video showcases some of that preparation being done in NASA’s Neutral Buoyancy Lab and how NASA has partnered with Speedo to design a more drag-resistant professional swimsuit.
