PoSSUMs Preparing to Fly!

Brilliant morning today! In sunny Ottawa my crew mates and I are preparing for our afternoon microgravity flight!

We’ll be flying in the NRC’s experimental Falcon 20 modified for parabolic flight.

In each parabola we experience about 15 seconds of microgravity followed by 2G as we climb up for the next parabola. 

We did the dress rehearsal for our flight this morning in the plane! Practice with tech, procedures and experiments! All set for the afternoon flight!

Stay tuned for the microgravity update later today!
