The Zero-G Space Flight Experience
Train Like an Astronaut. Step into the shoes of an astronaut with this premium, multi-day adventure that combines the thrill of weightlessness, exclusive NASA access, and genuine astronaut training. Below are the core experiences that await you on this journey of a lifetime:
1
Arrive in Style by Helicopter
Lift off from Orlando in a private helicopter and soar over Florida’s Space Coast, landing at Kennedy Space Center like incoming mission crew in the luxurious EC-130 Eurocopter.
2
Prepare for Zero-G Flight
Join planetary geologist Dr. Kirby Runyon for a pre-flight coaching session and gravity science orientation before your weightless flight.
3
Experience True Weightlessness
Float, flip, and soar in zero gravity aboard a specially-modified Boeing 727-200 jetliner—nicknamed G-FORCE ONE® during a series of exhilarating parabolic maneuvers.
4
Simulate Martian and Lunar Gravity
Walk and move in 38% and 17% Earth gravity—matching the surface conditions of Mars and the Moon—during controlled arcs that replicate otherworldly environments.
5
Tour Kennedy Space Center
Stroll the Rocket Garden, stand nose-to-nose with Space Shuttle Atlantis, and explore exhibits that trace every era of human spaceflight.
6
Train like an Astronaut
Push your limits at up to 6 Gs in a human-rated centrifuge as instructors coach you through high-G breathing and focus drills – and earn a certificate to prove you’ve trained like an astronaut.
Weightlessness Awaits
Zero Gravity in a specially-modified Boeing 727.
Zero-G Flight:
Board G-Force One, a modified Boeing 727, and watch gravity cut out mid-arc.
Float, flip, and glide as instructors steady your moves and outline the physics of microgravity.
Each parabolic dive provides the same weightless environment astronauts use in training—no simulation, no theme-park trickery.
Your Expert Guide
Planetary geologist Dr Kirby Runyon.
Your Guide – Dr. Kirby Runyon:
Planetary geologist with a Johns Hopkins PhD and lifelong space scholar.
He has mapped Pluto’s plains and the Moon’s craters, publishing his findings in leading journals.
On the flight he turns research into hands-on science. Catch a candy in weightlessness or try a “Martian” hop while he breaks down the physics.
Ask why objects drift or how Mars feels underfoot—he answers in clear terms. Each zero-g tumble becomes a sharp lesson in planetary science.
VIP Tour of Kennedy Space Center
Walk amongst giant rockets.
Join a VIP visit to NASA’s Kennedy Space Center (KSC). Walk where astronauts trained and engineers built each milestone in U.S. spaceflight. Your tour stops include:
Rocket Garden:
Stand beneath Mercury, Gemini, and Apollo boosters as your guide explains the craft that first carried people beyond Earth.
Space Shuttle Atlantis:
Meet Atlantis up close. Inspect its scorched thermal tiles and roomy payload bay while you learn how the orbiter flew 33 missions.
Launch Complex 39 & Expert Insights:
View pads 39A and 39B from the tour route as former Shuttle Launch Director Mike Leinbach recounts crisp countdowns and thundering ascents.
Throughout the visit, KSC’s hardware and stories place you at the heart of space exploration history.
Mars & Moon Gravity
0 g → 0.38 g → 0.17 g.
Mars & Moon Gravity:
Pilots tune each parabola to 0.38 g for Mars and 0.17 g for the Moon.
In Mars gravity you bounce higher and can lob a “rock” across the cabin with ease.
Lunar gravity invites the classic bunny-hop, echoing Apollo mission footage.
Shifting from 0 g to these low-g levels shows—by feel—how gravity shapes every move.
Whether you're a lifelong space buff or simply looking for a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, the Galactic Medallion Tour offers an unmatched opportunity to connect with our connection to space. It’s more than just a tour—it’s a launchpad for your inner astronaut.

Arrive in Style
Private EC-130 flight over the Space Coast.
Helicopter Transfer:
Leave Orlando aboard a private EC-130 and fly straight to Kennedy Space Center.
At 1,500 ft you trace the coast, banking over launch pads for a pilot’s-eye view.
The Vehicle Assembly Building and historic complexes fill the window as you cross the cape.
Touch down at KSC’s landing zone, set to begin a full day of space exploration.
Train at NASTAR
Up to 6 G’s in a human-rated centrifuge.
Centrifuge Training:
Strap into NASTAR’s human-rated centrifuge to feel the same g-forces a rocket launch produces.
You’ll spin up to 6 g while instructors coach you on the breathing and focus techniques astronauts use to stay sharp under extreme pressure.
The ride ramps up gradually, matching the climb to orbit so you can sense every stage without surprises.
Finish the run and walk away with an official certificate—proof you handled true astronaut-level acceleration.
One Giant Leap. Yours.
Closer Than Ever to Astronaut Life.
In just a short time, you’ve accomplished things most people only dream about. You floated free from Earth’s pull, felt what it’s like to walk on other worlds, stood where history was made at NASA’s launch pads, and pushed yourself through real astronaut training. The result? Don’t be surprised if the Earth looks a little different to you now — and if your dreams reach higher than ever. This journey doesn’t just give you amazing stories to tell; it gives you a new perspective on what you are capable of. It’s your own personal giant leap.
