NASA depends on advances in technology, and yet, space testing and space qualification of promising technologies remains one of the most difficult of all NASA’s hurdles. High costs and risk of flight demonstration to incorporate advanced technologies into future missions have been a great challenge to NASA. Flying payloads on commercial parabolic aircraft, such as Zero Gravity Corporation’s specially-modified 727-200, G-FORCE ONE™, and reusable suborbital vehicles will bridge the famed “valley of death” and help move technologies rapidly to maturity. To facilitate this goal, NASA is providing access to certain flight opportunities available to the Agency, on a no-exchange-of funds basis, to entities that have technology payloads meeting specified criteria. The latest of NASA's KC-135A aircraft, dubbed the Vomit Comet by the press, made its final microgravity flight Oct. 29 and will be retired at NASA's Johnson Space Center Oct. 31, 2004. This plane has been flying reduced gravity missions since 1994. This KC-135A is the eighth in a series of planes used in the Reduced Gravity Program. The first three planes, used from 1957 to 1967, were C-131s, twin-engine propeller planes that were military versions of the Convair 240-440 commercial airliners. Five KC-135s followed, the last two operated by NASA. The Douglas C-9B Skytrain II (N932NA) aircraft will make its debut at the end of January or the beginning of February, 2005. The C-9 is primarily a Navy transport and is used by the Air Force as a medical evacuation plane.You will receive the item as shown in the first photo.
