About
Zero-G’s Research Flights let engineers and scientists test early- and late-stage space technology in microgravity, lunar-gravity or Martian-gravity conditions, collecting cutting-edge data so they can launch with confidence. A research flight flies 30 parabolas (double a standard flight), providing up to 15 minutes of total weightlessness aboard the G-Force One Boeing 727 aircraft; private charters allow a custom mix of gravity levels. Packages range from a handheld mixed-payload seat up to full private charters. Research categories supported include cryogenics, propulsion, healthcare, manufacturing, chemical research, materials science and life sciences, with customers including NASA, the U.S. Space Force, Blue Origin, Axiom Space and Virgin Galactic. Over 20 years, Zero-G has flown 900+ flights and tested more than 2,400 research payloads across over 17,000 parabolas.
