Thread: MISSION: ASTROACCESS — A Call For Disabled Explorers to Experience Zero Gravity!

Excellent opportunity to experiment in zero gravity for disabled STEM practitioners!

We are excited to announce the launch of Mission: AstroAccess, a program bringing a diverse group of disabled space enthusiasts on a historic ZERO-G parabolic flight! Participants will complete targeted tasks during the program’s flight to help answer basic questions about how disabled people can live and work in outer space. Mission: AstroAccess’ crew of disabled volunteers will take flight on October 17th, 2021, as the first step in a progression towards increasing diversity in space and the greater STEM field.
