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.
