Small Businesses to Fly New Technologies on Zero-Gravity Flights
WASHINGTON
-- NASA's Innovative Partnerships Program has selected seven Small
Business Innovation Research program, or SBIR, companies to participate
in reduced-gravity test flights in early September. The companies will
have the opportunity to test their newly developed hardware on an
aircraft that simulates the weightless conditions of spaceflight. The
flights will the first by NASA's Facilitated Access to the Space
Environment for Technology Development and Training program, called
FAST.
Testing new technologies in weightless conditions is an
important step in making them available for applications in NASA space
projects. An aircraft flying on a parabolic trajectory can create
weightless conditions for up to 30 seconds at a time and simulate the
reduced gravity conditions of the moon or Mars. This allows developers
to test new technologies to ensure that they will work in space or, if
they do not work during testing, understand why. It is difficult for
emerging technology developers, especially small businesses, to gain
access to parabolic aircraft flights. Through FAST, NASA will provide a
flight demonstration opportunity while the developer provides the
technology.
