A flight aboard the IL-76-MDK flying laboratory for microgravity simulation is planned on May 26, 2003

The "IL-76 MDK" wide-body airplane is a unique flying laboratory, which can create short-term weightless conditions. To achieve a short-term micro-gravity, the aircraft flies in a parabolic pattern (Kepler curve), rising to a height of about 20,000 feet, and then curving downward. Weightlessness lasts for 25 seconds and can be recreated up to 15 times within one flight. The Zero-G flight lasts 1,5 hours. Total time of your stay in weightless conditions can be approximately 450 seconds.
