Outer space is not just humanity's future

It's a call to rethink life on Earth today

Who we are

AstroAccess is a groundbreaking initiative dedicated to advancing disability inclusion in space exploration.

By launching disabled scientists, veterans, students, athletes, and artists on parabolic flights with the Zero Gravity Corporation (ZERO-G), AstroAccess aims to pave the way for disabled astronauts in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). 

These individuals, known as "AstroAccess Ambassadors," experience weightlessness and carry out lunar gravity, Martian gravity, and zero gravity observations and experiments investigating how the physical environment aboard space vessels should be modified so that all astronauts and explorers, regardless of disability on Earth, can live, work, and thrive in space.
