Zero-G

Zero Gravity Corporation, commonly known as Zero-G, provides commercial parabolic flights, offering a unique microgravity environment. The company utilizes a specially modified Boeing 727-200 aircraft, dubbed G-Force One, to perform a series of parabolic maneuvers. Each maneuver creates approximately 30 seconds of true weightlessness, repeated multiple times per flight, allowing passengers to float and experience conditions akin to space without leaving Earth’s atmosphere. Zero-G is the sole FAA-approved provider of such flights, adhering to rigorous Part 121 safety standards.

The company was founded in 1993 by Dr. Peter H. Diamandis, a serial entrepreneur, veteran astronaut Dr. Byron K. Lichtenberg, and NASA engineer Ray Cronise. Their collective vision was to make the profound experience of weightlessness accessible beyond government space programs. After over a decade dedicated to meeting stringent FAA requirements for commercial parabolic flight operations, Zero-G launched its first commercial flight in August 2004, pioneering the field of accessible space-like experiences.

Zero-G serves a diverse clientele, ranging from the general public, including educators and students, to scientists conducting critical research for organizations like NASA. The company also hosts various media productions and provides unique training environments. Zero-G's overarching mission is to democratize access to the weightless experience, fostering both scientific advancement and inspiring awe, reflecting a belief that the sensations of space should be available to everyone.
