NASA Sustainability Base uses state-of-the art technology for mechanical systems

摘要

Moffett field, Calif. -The NASA Sustainability Base, a two-story, 50,000-sq.ft. office building, named in honor of the Tranquility Base of the Apollo 11 moon landing, is designed to incorporate some of the agency's most advanced intelligent control technologies originally developed to support NASA's human and robotic space exploration missions. The structure is using a geothermal system, a roof-mounted photovoltaic system, solar thermal system, and an upgraded version of the water purification system that is currently on the Space Station.
