ZERO-G

Flying alongside our #EmbeddedTeacher @arenzke is the @carthagecollege Microgravity team! Head over to the mycarthage IG account for more from Alana! 🛫🛬#STEM @ZEROGResearch

After a second successful flight, the composite origami team is happy to be back in NC. Huge thanks to @ZEROGResearch and @NASAArmstrong for this amazing opportunity!

Zero-G here we come! Our @ExploreSpace_ML research flights are gearing up again for a fresh batch of science, engineering, art and design payloads! Thrilled to be flying with our amazing @MIT community—@medialab @MITAeroAstro @eapsMIT @MITKavli @mitsap @ACTMIT @MIT_CSAIL

Zero-G Research Highlight! Zenolith: a zero-G pointing device, or “3D space compass,” that gives astronauts a better sense of where they are in the universe. Chei Wei Wang (@sayway) is planning to get Zenolith to the ISS for astronauts to interact with it. Photo: Steve Boxall

@SomuDhulipala and I tested Agrifuge, a plant habitat designed to psychologically benefit astronauts during long-duration space flight, doubling as an agricultural irrigation system. Check out our project page for more info: bit.ly/3oYlte1

@ExploreSpace_ML @GoZeroG Amazing to see!

Zero-G Research Highlight! Reconfigurable Space Structures: a shape-changing structure that can be programmatically assembled into different configurations. The vision is to create reconfigurable 3D objects quickly, sustainably, repeatedly, and with no waste. Photo: Steve Boxall

@ExploreSpace_ML @GoZeroG is proud to have MIT Media Lab onboard!

Zero-G Research Highlight! MOSAIC: communication without compromise. MOSAIC aims to use liquid lens technology in order to achieve much more precise pointing and tracking for laser communication systems. Photo: Steve Boxall

We are thrilled to work with our amazing friends @PurdueAeroAstro on their educational initiative! #WeightlessLab #AstronautExperience #science #STEM

@airport_girl @cc_pilot Peak acceleration on the downward portion of the parabola is ~26,000 feet per minute. You are feeling about 1.8 Gs at that point.

@cc_pilot @ZEROGResearch How fast is the 727 going on the ZGR flights? 🤷🏽‍♀️

So, the North American X-15 flew at (Mach 6.7) 4,520 mph. What is the fastest you’ve flown in an aircraft?

アメリカでの #航空機実験。 チーム後発隊とも合流し機材の積み込みも完了。今回は6チーム6装置が相乗りで、いよいよフライト開始だって。 機内は壁という壁がクッションで覆われててやっぱり旅客機とは違うね✈ ところでジャンプスーツのメンバー達、普段の何割か増しにカコイイ (｡+・`ω・´)ｷﾘｯ

“I think this has been the best NSRC ever,” says @AlanStern, thanking the organizers, hotel, volunteers, and attendees as we wrap up the 7th Next-generation Suborbital Researchers Conference #NSRC2030. Thank you all!

The suborbital glovebox is a great example of why space needs to be inclusive -- it's critical for people from all walks of life to think about problems in creative ways and bring new solutions to the table for the future space economy and humanity's move into space. #NSRC2020

Congratulations to @GoZeroG raffle winners Dale Gray is @CUBoulder and Ed Harris of @keckobservatory (pictured). Ed will be donating his ticket to Keck Observatory to benefit students in Hawaii. #NSRC2020

I don’t know if anyone took pictures but I was just on an awesome #NSRC2020 panel with @docswampy, astronaut Charlie Walker, @DalbelloRichard, @ad_astra2, Dan Durda, and Michelle Peters @ZEROGResearch discussing the importance of humans flying in space with their research.

A huge thank-you to my panelists on #NSRC2020 panel Suborbital to ISS: Katy Hurlbert of @NASA_Johnson, Ken Shields of @ISS_CASIS, Kirk Shireman @NASA_Kirk of NASA @ISS_Research, and Peter Lee of @OhioState! Suborbital experimentation benefits ISS experimentation & vice versa.

Michelle Peter's of @GoZeroG addressed the need for understanding the resources, configuration, and vehicle environment & how will effect your payload in microgravity #NSRC2020

3. Zero-G Corp. is planning an international expansion that could start in a year. (They’re optimistic the long FAA approval process they had won’t be duplicated in other countries.) Could require acquiring another 727. /end #NSRC2020

Shout out to Kevin Crosby with @carthagecollege and @wispacegrant for their amazing research work on @GoZeroG flights! Call me for info on proposing a research mission with @ZEROGResearch Michelle@GoZeroG.com #microgravity
