How does the Zero-G Experience work?
How it Works. Our specially modified Boeing 727 G-FORCE ONE® aircraft achieves weightlessness by flying aerobatic maneuvers called parabolas. Specially trained pilots perform these aerobatic maneuvers, which are not simulated in any way. Zero-G passengers experience true weightlessness.
What is it like to experience zero gravity?
Absence of gravity is known as weightlessness. It is like floating, the feeling you get when a roller coaster suddenly goes down. Astronauts on the International Space Station are in free fall all the time. The astronauts inside it experience weightlessness, floating around in no particular direction.
How long is the Zero-G Experience?
approximately 90 to 100 minutes
How Long Will I Feel Weightless? The flight portion of a Zero-G Experience® lasts approximately 90 to 100 minutes. During the flight 15 parabolas are performed each providing about 30 seconds of reduced gravity or weightlessness.
Can I ride the Vomit Comet?
Non-astronauts are welcome on the “vomit comet.” Painful-looking new suntans: just back from the islands. They’re customers of Ballston-based Zero Gravity Corporation, which gives civilians the opportunity to ride in a space-simulation airplane like the one that NASA recruits once dubbed the “vomit comet.”
How much does it cost to go on the Vomit Comet?
The trips on NASA’s Weightless Wonder, known more informally as the Vomit Comet, would cost more than $5,000 per person through the Zero Gravity Corporation.
Do you feel pain in zero gravity?
Living in zero-gravity for months at a time might sound like a thrilling adventure, but the majority of astronauts experience moderate to severe back pain as well as numerous other health risks while in space.
