Moffett Federal Airfield

AvPorts Moffett Federal Airfield, previously known as Naval Air Station Moffett Field, is currently under the operation of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA). NASA maintains a tenant program which includes organizations like the Naval Reserve, California Air National Guard, and Onizuka Air Force Base. The airfield, now used for restricted federal activities, is also exploring new ways to align with NASA's mission.

Despite its transition from a military base, Moffett Field remains vibrant with active facilities and residents. Military families reside in Moffett Community Housing, and lodges accommodate academics associated with the nearby Ames Research Center. Residents can enjoy amenities such as a pool, post office, golf course, and tennis courts.

Located in Mountain View, California, Moffett Federal Airfield spans around 2,200 acres in Santa Clara County. Surrounded by a security fence, access is limited to authorized personnel, residents, and visitors. The history of Moffett Field dates back to its commission as Sunnyvale Naval Air Station in 1933, with subsequent transformations leading to its current role under NASA's management.
