The MSL is a 175,000-square-foot, five-story laboratory containing 40 state-of-the-art research labs and workspace for 245 people for developing, testing, and implementing new sensor and instrument technologies.

The Flight Dynamics Research Facility (FDRF) will be a highly versatile and cost-effective vertical wind tunnel for conducting flight-dynamics and other research on all manner of atmospheric flight vehicles.

Explore NASA Langley’s busiest wind tunnel where low-speed tests lead to safer takeoffs and landings.

See designs of space structures and learn about the materials used to make them.

Langley’s historic hangar houses aircraft that support an array of airborne research campaigns.

Langley’s Cockpit Motion Facility is designed around a state-of-the-art, high-performance, 76-inch six-degree-of-freedom synergistic motion system.

Researchers use this facility to measure human response to aircraft noise.

See inside a clean room where space-bound technology is tested and prepared.

These vacuum spheres, which researchers use to create air flow for testing aerodynamics, have become a symbol of NASA Langley. 

In this lab, innovative manufacturing techniques are tested, refined and put to work creating items needed for NASA missions.

Researchers conduct landing and crash tests where Apollo astronauts once trained.

The National Transonic Facility, or NTF, is the world’s largest pressurized cryogenic wind tunnel.
