In 2015, Swiss Space Systems (S3) will put the ZeroG experience within everyone's reach. S3 is launching affordable zero gravity flights from more than 15 locations across the world including, for the first time ever, Asia, the Middle East and Central America.

ZeroG flights make it possible to experience true weightlessness, allowing bodies and materials to float free of the earth's gravitational pull. The S3 parabolic flights are completely safe, and supervised by space professionals and a crew of qualified personnel.

All flights last less than 2 hours, during which 15 parabolas are performed, each providing an experience of weightlessness for 20 to 25 seconds.

S3 provides a customised ZeroG feeling for all

"These ZeroG flights are a first step towards Space for All, giving everyone the chance to enjoy the weightlessness experienced by astronauts in space", explains Pascal Jaussi, CEO of S3. Zero gravity flights operated by S3 ZeroG open for passengers of 8 years and older. Three categories of ticket are on offer:

In this zone, which caters for up to 40 passengers, ZeroG is available for under 2'000 Euros per head. This is the world's most affordable ZeroG experience.

This luxurious section offers more room for each of a maximum of 28 passengers. Premium Zone tickets cost 5'000 Euros and include special activities such as playing with liquids and balloons. Passengers will receive an exclusive Breitling S3 ZeroG personalized watch, which will serve as the passenger's boarding pass.

This very exclusive part of the plane welcomes up to 12 passengers at a minimum cost of 50'000 Euros for the whole zone, with a range of options available for a tailor-made experience. VIP passengers will also receive an exclusive Breitling S3 ZeroG personalized watch.
