ABOUT THE PROGRAM
The Aurelia Horizon Program benefits from the Aurelia team’s zero-g mission integration, teaching, and management expertise. Our partner organizations joining the flight are world-class changemakers dedicated to introducing diverse perspectives to space and STEAM.
Horizon 2022 Zero Gravity Flight
The Horizon 2022 flight launched on May 22, 2022 just outside Boston, in collaboration with ZERO-G Corporation.
For this first flight, the theme was “see yourself in space” and flier participants, chosen by a diverse group of partners, were challenged to create a meaningful project to their community, implement it on the parabolic flight, and share it.
