eBay NASA JSC REDUCED GRAVITY FLIGHT PROGRAM Boeing-707/KC135 Weightless Wonder velkrö PATCH This is an Original (not cheap import copy) NASA JSC REDUCED GRAVITY FLIGHT PROGRAM Boeing-707/KC135 Weightless Wonder velkrö PATCH You will receive the item as shown in the first photo.

For future astronauts, riding on the “Vomit Comet” is an essential part of training to live in the microgravity of space. In 1957, astronauts began training on planes that simulate weightlessness by making roller-coaster-like maneuvers in the air. The simulation makes some passengers nauseous, which inspired the nickname “Vomit Comet.” In 1973, NASA took over the Air Force program that preceded the space agency’s formation. However, since 2008, a private company ,Zero-G Corp., has handled the training. And although the program was designed for astronaut training, it’s not reserved for future space flyers; scientists, engineers, students and celebrities have all taken a spin on the Vomit Comet to experience the feeling of weightlessness. Changing with the times But the origins of the Vomit Comet predate NASA. In 1950, the United States recruited two German scientists after World War II: aeronautical engineer Fritz Haber and physicist Heinz Haber. The two brothers proposed simulating the microgravity of space in airplanes that would make parabolic flights in a wave-like configuration. In 1957, the Air Force began what would become NASA’s Reduced Gravity Program, training astronauts in the Mercury and Apollo programs in this way. From 1957 to 1967, the Air Force flew three C-131 twin-engine propeller planes. Five KC-135 Stratotankers, which were modified aerial refueling aircraft, followed suit. NASA operated the last two KC-135s. The program wasn’t just for training astronauts; engineers also used the airplanes to test equipment and spaceflight procedures, and university students performed experiments in microgravity. According to NASA, one of these airplanes, KC-135A, performed more than 58,000 parabolas, and averaged 3,800 parabolas and 300 flight hours per year before it made its last microgravity flight, on Oct. 29, 2004. The airplane also made a Hollywood appearance: It was used to film weightless scenes in the movie “Apollo 13.” According to an article on Space.com’s sister site Live Science, set designers created a spacecraft interior adapted to the inside of the airplane. Then, the cameras captured short, seconds-long snippets on film. Director Ron Howard leased the aircraft for six months to achieve the shots of weightlessness that viewers see in the film. KC-135A is now on display at Ellington Field in Texas. Then-lead test director John Yaniec said KC-135A was still going strong when it was retired in 2004, but its unique role made it “increasingly difficult and expensive to maintain.” In 2005, NASA replaced the KC-135 aircraft with a Navy C-9, which the agency flew until it canceled the Reduced Gravity Program in 2014. In 2016, the C-9 was used to test spacesuits for the Orion spacecraft, for the space agency’s next phase of exploration. Since 2008, NASA also has had a microgravity service contract with Zero Gravity Corp. (Zero-G) and has used its aircraft, a modified Boeing 727, for training flights. Virginia-based Zero-G started flying its plane, G-Force One, in 2005, selling tickets for $4,950 a pop. Celebrities such as director James Cameron, “Star Trek” actor George Takei and Virgin Galactic’s billionaire founder, Sir Richard Branson, have all taken flights on Zero-G planes. The Reduced Gravity Education Flight Program (RGEFP) provides the higher academic communities with just that opportunity! NASA’s RGEFP is a once in a lifetime experience for teachers and students to propose, design, build, test and fly a microgravity experiment aboard the microgravity aircraft. The RGEFP selects research teams of students and educators dedicated to enhancing their science and technical knowledge to conduct their experiments aboard the aircraft. The program which was founded in 1995, is based out of NASA’s Johnson Space Center and flies selected research teams out of Ellington Field. The Reduced Gravity Education Flight Program (RGEFP) is not currently accepting proposals for the 2015 flight year. NASA is in the process of identifying how and or if Microgravity Flight Services will be conducted in the future. Until a decision is made, student and teacher flight campaigns will not be scheduled. The RGEFP team is working to identify alternate plans for FY15 and beyond. Please check this website for updates as they become available. Undergraduate students from various universities participated in the second flight week of NASA’s Reduced Gravity Education Flight Program (RGEFP) this year. Gravitational effects on unique experiments that were proposed, designed, and fabricated by teams of undergraduate students from schools around the country. This past week of the program, called Microgravity University, was for undergraduate student learners. Students were welcomed to the program and briefed on safety procedures before setting up experiments. Experiments were then given a Pre-Test Readiness Review (Pre-TRR) by a panel of NASA engineers and scientists for last minute touch ups before the Test Readiness Review (TRR) and approval for flight. Experiments were then loaded onto the microgravity aircraft. Topics of scientific experiments include biology, physics, computer science, earth science, and many others. “We’ll turn the apparatus on before takeoff, then we’ll be there to check for warning messages and monitor the state of the apparatus through the crew system window.” said Landon Nye, engineering student at Boise State University. Boise State students tested the effects of teriparatide on calcium signaling in bone cells during parabolic flight. “Now that it’s all installed and set, I’m starting to really feel excited.” said Nye. “Keeping the beams from losing pressure and hoping our computer stays consistent will be something we will have to account for, but I’m really excited.” said Alyssa Avery, engineering student at Oklahoma State University, talking about her experiment. Oklahoma State students constructed an experiment on the investigation of artificial gravity habitat dynamics. Avery was preparing to fly with part of her team on the second day of flight. “When we see what we need to change after the first flight, it’s up to us to get even better data.” The next flight week for Microgravity University will be July 12th through July 20th. Several other programs will use NASA’s microgravity aircraft throughout the summer, including Teaching from Space, Systems Engineering Education Discovery (SEED), and several others. For more on NASA’s RGEFP, June 17, 2013 Reduced Gravity Education Flight Program Overview: The Reduced Gravity Education Flight Program provides a unique academic experience for students to successfully propose, design, fabricate, fly and evaluate a reduced gravity experiment over the course of approximately four months. The overall experience includes scientific research, hands-on investigational design, test operations and educational/public outreach activities. Investigations will adhere to the same processes and procedures governing NASA research and test flights so that teams gain insight into the workings of NASA and ensure participant and investigation safety guidelines are followed. The aircraft provides a reduced gravity environment, similar to the environment of space flight. The reduced gravity environment is achieved by flying an aircraft through a series of parabolic maneuvers (see below). These maneuvers will be flown consecutively, i.e. roller coaster fashion. Normal missions, lasting approximately 1.7 hours, consist of 30 parabolic maneuvers over the Gulf of Mexico. Each parabola provides about 30 seconds of hypergravity (about 1.8G-2G) as the plane climbs to the top of the parabola. Once the plane starts to “nose over” the top of the parabola to descend toward Earth, the plane experiences about 18 to 25 seconds of microgravity (0G). At the very top and bottom of the parabola, flyers experience a mix of partial G’s between 0 and 1.8 (called “dirty air”). The aircraft test deck is equipped with electrical power and photo lights. NASA JSC will provide photographers for still photography and video coverage during the flight. Workspace on the ground for assembly of investigations will be provided. During the flight, the flight team will initiate and conduct the investigation, and collect data on behalf of the students. Conditions permitting, each investigation will be flown twice so that there can be replication of the investigation and any problems encountered during the first flight can be corrected during the second. .
