First commercial weightless flights take off from Moffett Field

Looking to lose a few pounds? How about all of them for 90 minutes, at least.
Zero Gravity Corporation, the only commercial company federally approved to offer weightless flights, arrived on the Peninsula this weekend after receiving permission from NASA last month to fly from its Mountain View facility, Moffett Federal Airfield.

Teachers defy gravity to promote science

Kaplan and Atkinson were among nearly two dozen Florida teachers selected to participate in the zero-gravity flight out of Cape Canaveral. The trip was sponsored by Space Florida, an office of the state created to promote and develop Florida’s aerospace industry.

NASA Offers More Commercial Weightless Flights

NASA will host commercial weightless flights this weekend.
The space agency announced that the flights, at Moffett Field, Calif., are sold out, but more flights will be scheduled for later this year. The flights are a result of an agreement between NASA and Zero Gravity, of Las Vegas.
