A region of zero gravity, which is actually enclosed in Earth, is not located in space. By testing new technology in a controlled setting, NASA can ensure that it is safe and effective before using it in actual space missions.įor astronauts to feel the sensation of floating in space, NASA creates microgravity regions.

zero gravity rooms are an important part of NASA’s research and development process. By removing the effects of gravity, NASA is able to test how equipment and astronauts will react in a weightless environment. A zero gravity room is a special chamber that simulates the conditions of outer space. One of the ways they do this is by testing out new technology and equipment in a zero gravity environment. Therefore, we are looking at long-term collaborations.Since its inception, NASA has been dedicated to pushing the boundaries of space exploration. Both the UAE and Israel are the technology hubs of the region. We are looking at this territory as a hub for all the activities in the region. Our offerings additionally include Mini Communications Satellite (MCS), which have sophisticated technology but are in an affordable budget and virtual ground station among others. We have over 40 years of experience in space. We have end-to-end capabilities in space… launch, development, ground segment, operating them in space. Recently, at Expo 2020 Dubai’s Space Week, the UAE and Israel space agencies signed a deal to enhance cooperation in scientific research, space exploration and knowledge transfer.Īs per the understanding the UAE will exchange research and develop scientific instruments for the Israeli rocket ship ‘Beresheet-2’ space project that is bound for the Moon by 2024.Įstie Rosen, head of media relations, Israel Aerospace Industries (IAI), and one of the IAC exhibitors, says: “We are the center of all space activities in Israel. We are planning to meet with members of the MBRSC during this event. As members we can share capacity and resources in order to step up in the space capabilities. So we are showcasing our products and looking for space agencies who want to join our vision. We manufacture small satellites and we use satellite data to provide services to final users. Participants at the event are not just showcasing futuristic capabilities, but also engaging collaboratively with players from different countries in the space sector.Ĭarlos Fernandez de la Pena, vice president of Satellite Data and Services of Open Cosmos (offices in Spain and the UK), says: “This is the most important space event of the year if you want to connect with other space agencies.

We are looking forward to collaborations with the UAE, Russia, European Space Agency (ESA) – introducing flights not only for research, but also for consumers as the space tourism industry is booming,” Pearson adds. So we could bring a plane here and have people fly with us. We are hoping to come overseas and do a tour, even in Dubai. We are well known in the US and North America people in the scientific industry are aware of us, but overseas not as much. “Making connections here is one of the most exciting things. The mega event which has taken place in several cities annually since 1950 is being held for the first time in the Middle East. We are the first step to space tourism, and also train astronauts and work with Nasa.” We did have two other people who went up on Unity 22, and we’ve had Axiom Space as well. Richard Branson has been onboard with us on Zero G Elon Musk as well. “Although we are not suborbital, we do fly commercial altitudes.
