Zero Gravity

What Zero Gravity does

Zero Gravity Corporation (Zero-G) is a privately-held U.S. space entertainment and microgravity research company founded in 1993 by Dr. Peter H. Diamandis, Dr. Byron K. Lichtenberg, and Ray Cronise, headquartered in Exploration Park, Florida. The company operates G-Force One, a specially modified Boeing 727-200 aircraft that executes parabolic flight maneuvers to produce periods of true weightlessness — approximately 30 seconds per parabola, with up to 15 parabolas on public flights and 30 on research flights. Zero-G is the only FAA-approved commercial parabolic flight provider in the United States, having spent 11+ years obtaining Part 121 certification before its first commercial flight in August 2004; NASA subsequently closed its own parabolic flight office and named Zero-G its exclusive provider.

The company operates six integrated service lines: Public Flights (individual seats at $8,900+), Private Charters ($259,000 full aircraft), Research Flights (mixed payload and full charter at $10,300–$295,000), Marketing Campaigns (brand activations for consumer brands), Media Productions (film/TV zero-gravity filming), and Corporate Flights (team building and incentives). A premium Astronaut Experience package at Kennedy Space Center launched in December 2024. Cumulative operating scale includes 900+ parabolic flights, 22,500+ guests flown, and 2,300+ research missions supporting NASA, U.S. Space Force, Blue Origin, Virgin Galactic, and Axiom Space.

Revenue is generated through direct-to-consumer ticket sales via gozerog.com, an enterprise sales team handling corporate, media, and research contracts, and channel partnerships including Kennedy Space Center Visitor's Complex. Pricing is uniformly one-time/per-flight across all tiers, with no subscription or recurring model. In May 2025, Zero-G secured a $13 million U.S. Space Force contract for the STARCOM Azimuth Program; the company also opened equity ownership to the public via Republic.com in 2025 with a $100 minimum investment.
