Zero Gravity Corporation

Zero Gravity Corporation (also known as ZERO-G) is an American company based in Arlington, Virginia, formerly of Fort Lauderdale, Florida, which operates weightless flights from United States airports. Unlike NASA, ZERO-G is governed under Part 121 of FAA regulations (as are all US commercial passenger and cargo airlines) enabling the company to cater to both tourists and researchers alike.
==History==
Founded by entrepreneur Peter Diamandis, astronaut Byron K. Lichtenberg, and NASA engineer Ray Cronise, the company has been operating weightless flights since 2004. A number of notable passengers have been on weightless flights run by the company, including Penn Jillette〔(【引用サイトリンク】 date = 2007-03-05 )〕 and Teller,〔(【引用サイトリンク】 date = 2007-04-26 )Martha Stewart, Burt Rutan, Buzz Aldrin, and John Carmack. Theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking also completed a shortened flight on April 26, 2007.〔(Stephen Hawking's Zero-G Flight Booked ), CBS News, March 1, 2007〕
In April 2006, ZERO-G became the first commercial company to gain permission from the Kennedy Space Center to use its space shuttle runway and landing facilities.〔http://www.gozerog.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=about.history〕
On April 21, 2007, it began regular flights from Las Vegas for the general public at ticket prices of US$3,675. ''Good Morning America'' aired promotional footage〔(【引用サイトリンク】 date = 2007-04-20 )〕 featuring the show's weatherman Sam Champion during a preview flight in Ohio.〔(【引用サイトリンク】 date = 2007-04-23 )
On December 9, 2007, Zero G hosted Adam Savage and Jamie Hyneman of ''MythBusters'' to disprove the conspiracy theory that the Apollo Moon landing was a hoax.
In March 2008, the company was acquired by Space Adventures.〔http://www.spaceadventures.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=news.viewnews&newsid=600〕
On April 20, 2011, a Safety Approval was granted to ZERO-G by the FAA which allows the company to "...offer reduced gravity parabolic flights to prospective suborbital launch operators to meet the applicable components of the crew qualification and training requirements outlined in the Code of Federal Regulations (14 C.F.R., Section 460.5)."
