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?

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.
Can I select my own custom flight profile?
Yes, when booking a private research charter, you can customize your flight profile with up to 30 parabolas. Select your preferred mix of Lunar, Martian, and zero gravity parabolas, and our expert pilots will handle the rest.
For mixed payload campaigns, flight profiles are pre-set in advance.
How do mixed payload flights work?
Twice a year, Zero-G offers mixed payload campaigns where research teams can purchase individual payload slots on a shared flight with other researchers. These flights are ideal for teams that require multiple flights but don’t need the entire aircraft to themselves.
Mixed payload campaigns are typically held in the spring and fall. Payload slots are reserved on a first-come, first-served basis.
Can I test my technology in Lunar or Martian gravity?
Absolutely! Zero-G can precisely create Martian and Lunar gravity environments inside the aircraft, giving you the perfect opportunity to test your technology before launch.
How many parabolas are included on a research flight?
Research flights include 30 parabolas—double the number of a public or private flight—giving you up to 15 minutes of microgravity. This extended time allows you to gather as much data as possible for your research.
