ZERO-G Offers Opportunity To Fly Weightless From NASA's KSC!

History will be made next month when Zero Gravity Corporation (ZERO-G) invites the public to launch and land on a Weightless Flight from NASA's Shuttle Landing Facility (SLF) at the Kennedy Space Center. On November 5 and 6, 2006, ZERO-G has been given permission by NASA to operate G-FORCE ONE, its specially modified Boeing 727 from the same location the Space Shuttle uses to land at the Kennedy Space Center. Details are available at www.gozerog.com by calling (800) ZERO-G-800.

Although numerous astronauts and NASA personnel have used NASA's Shuttle Landing facility, it has never been made available for civilian use. Only 27 seats are available for this historic flight. Seats are available on a first come first serve basis.

This once in a lifetime opportunity is available for $4,500 plus tax and will include:

  • Weightless Flight from NASA-Kennedy's Shuttle Landing Facility with fifteen (15) Martian, Lunar and zero gravity parabolas
  • Ground training in a VIP facility at NASA-KSC's Apollo/Saturn V Center overlooking historic space artifacts
  • Participation by three veteran NASA Astronauts who will share their experiences and fly with you
  • ZERO-G flight suit, log book, and weightless certification
  • Personalized photographs and DVD/Video
  • Post-flight "Regravitation" celebration
  • Admission into the Kennedy Space Center Visitors Complex

Dr. Peter H. Diamandis (shown below, flying in Zero-G), Chairman and CEO of ZERO-G explained, "Our Flyers train just like astronauts and live their dream of being weightless. More than 1,250 customers in the last year have been able to fly with ZERO-G. These are our first flight's out of NASA's Shuttle Landing Facility and we're excited to be able to offer these seats to everyone who has dreamed of spaceflight."

This pilot program is being sponsored by the Kennedy Space Center, Center Operations Directorate, and is supported by NASA's Office of Space Operations for the purpose of helping NASA implement U.S. Space Transportation Policy and the President's Management Agenda.

Zero Gravity Corporation is a privately held space entertainment and tourism company whose mission is to make the excitement and adventure of space accessible to the public. ZERO-G is the first and only FAA-approved provider of weightless flight to the general public, including the entertainment and film industries; corporate and incentive market; non-profit research and education sectors; and government. The company is headquartered in Fort Lauderdale, Florida.
