FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

Zero Gravity Corporation is a privately held space entertainment and tourism company whose mission is to make the experience of space accessible to the public.  Zero-G gives individuals the opportunity to experience true “weightlessness” without going to space. Apart from commercial flights, Zero-G also provides research and educational flights.

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. By the end of the flight you will log about 6-7 minutes of reduced gravity – that’s about as much zero-gravity time as Alan Shepard experienced on America’s first human spaceflight. 

Parabolic flights are extremely safe and have been flown for the past 50 years by NASA, The Russian Space Program and European Space Agency. 

 It is very unlikely that you will experience motion discomfort. The Zero-G Experience® was designed to provide flyers a fun and pleasant experience, and over the years we have succeeded in reducing the number of flyers who experience motion discomfort on G-FORCE ONE®.  Today, very few people experience uneasiness or nausea during the flight. 

Zero-G flyers must be at least 8 years old at the time of the flight. Zero-G has no upper age limit and has enjoyed the attendance of several passengers in their 90s.  Children under the age of 14 must be accompanied on board G-FORCE ONE® by an adult or legal guardian. Children under 10 must have one adult or legal guardian per child.

Micro-gravity and Hyper-gravity environments can negatively affect some medical conditions. It is advisable to consult with your physician before signing up for a flight.  If you are pregnant, have heart or back problems, you should consult your physician to see if this experience is appropriate for you.
