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 2023
Zero Gravity Flight
The theme of the 2023 Horizon flight is multimodal workforce development. The flight cohort includes students from Aurelia Academy’s pilot course, Microgravity Project Design, in addition to research fliers selected by our outreach partners and startups. This interdisciplinary cohort maximizes innovation and knowledge transfer of microgravity project design and operations.
As part of the flight experience, research fliers go through a Technical Readiness Review the day prior to flight with the Zero Gravity team. This FAA-approves review evaluated the safety of each project before it is installed on the aircraft. Students in Microgravity Project Design prepare for the TRR with Aurelia’s Mission Integrator and fill out the FAA and Zero G flight paperwork. The Horizon 2023 flight launches later this year just outside of Boston, in collaboration with ZERO-G Corporation.
