Google will pay NASA more than $ 1.1 billion for the lease of the airfield and hangars for 60 years, and will commit to the reconstruction of the structure known as Hangar One. It was opened in 1933 and is one of the largest buildings of similar type (meaning large-span building with no interior columns).

Rented airfield and hangars can use Google to research related to space exploration, development, testing and assembly robots, and so on.. In turn, NASA will annually save $ 6.3 million on the airfield and buildings, reports The Verge.

In addition to the rent, Google will spend $ 200 million to bring all structures and premises in good condition and their modernization, as well as the opening of a training center. When the name of the search will take control of the corporation leased the airfield, is not specified, the parties must pass a series of agreements with the local regulatory authorities. Also, Google does not disclose its plans, only pointing to the historical value of Hangar One.
