Your Zero Gravity Flight will allow you to fulfil your dreams of becoming an Astronaut! The IL-76 aircraft flies multiple parabola, one after another, allowing you to experience complete weightlessness.
On the day before your flight you will have a medical check up at the Cosmonaut Training Centre (ZPK). This is combined with a guided tour of the Star City where you can see a 1:1 mockup of the MIR Space Station, the Hydrolab where cosmonauts train to move in space suits and the world's largest centrifuge that rotates up to 36 times per minute, exerting up to 12 G Force on its occupant.
On the morning of your zero gravity flight you will arrive at the ZPK, where you will be taken by bus to the aircraft accompanied by pilots and physicians as well as other participants. On the aircraft you will receive instructions and will be issued with parachutes, not just for your safety but also so the instructors are able to assist you during the weightlessness phases.
The inside of the cabin on the IL-76 aircraft has been padded in order to prevent injuries to passengers during the zero gravity flights.
A complete medical check up must be completed before you take the flight. If you have any lung, heart or circulation conditions that could be affected by this flight, please seek advice from your doctor before travelling to take this experience. To gain access to Russian military areas, we need to receive your details a minimum of 50 days before the flight date. The Russian military will then check your credentials and will provide access authorization. Unfortunately, there is no flexibility to book a Russian flight on shorter notice. Minimum age for this experience is 18 years.
The weather should not affect your experience as the IL-76 is a large robust plane.
This is a full day experience.
Up to 12 people can take part in this Zero Gravity flight. You will also share the aircraft with crew members that include instructors, laboratory personnel and a doctor.
No spectators will be allowed access to the military area where the aircraft is situated. Only authorised personnel is allowed.
We advise you to wear comfortable clothing.
These flights are only available 2-3 times a year. Dates for these flights are released 2-3 months previous to the flight taking place.
