Your Space Tech Testbed
Collect invaluable data for your space-bound technologies.
Minimize Risk
Imagine preparing to deploy your new space technology.
You’ve spent years and millions of dollars researching, prototyping, and hypothesizing. Now it’s time to launch, but there’s only one catch: Your technology has never actually been tested in zero gravity.
Are you confident in your launch without testing?

Research Flights
The Process
We’ll handle the flight planning. You focus on the science.
Get Started
Choose between a private charter, mixed payload, or handheld experiment, and submit the Test Data Summary form to help us understand your research objectives.
Receive Quote
We will provide you with a cost quote and any additional considerations while preparing your research
Execute Contracts
Confirm your flight by signing a standard research contract and paying the deposit
Process Payload
Submit your Payload Integration package (PIP) so our team can file all required FAA paperwork and approvals on your behalf
Prepare For Takeoff
Complete a Test Readiness Review (TRR) 1 day prior to flight, install your experiment, and get ready to fly.
Frequently Asked Questions...
Getting you ready for your weightless experience.
How long does it take to plan my research flight?
The further in advance that you begin planning your flight, the more successful your research will ultimately be. Our most successful research teams start planning months in advance.
We recommend planning your research flight no less than 3 months in advance. Although we’re able to support payloads with as little as 60 days’ notice, planning further in advance enables our team to better support your research and set you up for success.
Have you flown zero gravity research like mine before?
Between quietly supporting the entire space industry for 20 years, and flying over 2,300+ research payloads, it is highly likely that we have supported an experiment similar to yours.
Do you offer discounts for research flights?
Our flights are in high demand and tend to sell out quickly. For more information, sign up for our newsletter.
How often do you host mixed payload research campaigns?
We traditionally host mixed payload campaigns about twice per year: Once in the spring (around late April or early May), and again in the fall (around late October or early November). Each campaign lasts about 1 week and includes daily research flights.
