S3 plans affordable Zero-G flights this year

The ZeroG world tour will start from Switzerland, during the second half of 2015, before heading to Canada and the US in 2015. During the 1^st semester of 2016, the tour will then start from Asia before heading to the Middle East and Europe in some of the destinations previously scheduled for 2015, with new destinations added to this new schedule. 

ZeroG flights make it possible to experience true weightlessness, allowing bodies and materials to float free of the earth's gravitational pull. The S3 parabolic flights are completely safe, and supervised by space professionals and a crew of qualified personnel. All flights last less than 2 hours, during which 15 parabolas are performed, each providing an experience of weightlessness for 20 to 25 seconds.

“This ZeroG experience is a first step towards our objective of Space for All, giving everyone a chance to enjoy the weightlessness experienced by astronauts in space, but at an affordable price”, explains Pascal Jaussi, Founder and CEO of S3.

Three categories of S3 ZeroG experiences are on offer. At the “PartyZone” ZeroG is available for under 2'000 Euros per head. This is the world’s most affordable ZeroG experience.

Pre-bookings opened in May 2014 and were sold-out quickly, therefore, the number of available ZeroG flights in Switzerland have now been tripled. A success, also seen for numerous destinations across the globe, that S3 CEO Pascal Jaussi is especially proud of: “I’m happy to give Swiss people the opportunity to be the first to enjoy this weightlessness experience. The fact that we're now operating first from Switzerland will enable us to collaborate with authorities in charge of civil flights in order to give this weightlessness experience a “Swiss Made” quality stamp before flying around the world to share this one of a kind experience with many more people.”
