0-G Launch, a Washington DC-based provider of the innovative Space Jet™ horizontal rocket air-launch and microgravity service aircraft, and PD AeroSpace , a Japanese company headquartered in Nagoya developing a ground-breaking transportation system for space and Earth through its fully reusable spaceplane based on detonation technology, announced the signature of a cooperation agreement to conduct zero-gravity parabolic flights from the Simojishima islands starting in 2024.

Per this agreement, 0-G Launch will fly its Space Jet™ to Japan on a yearly basis to offer high-precision microgravity parabolic flights from the Shimojishima airport facility, where PD Aerospace’s research and development team is located. PD Aerospace will manage and organize the media outreach and logistics to insure that these unique flights are accessible to the Japanese and Asian space industry for research, astronaut training and consumer zero-gravity flights.
