Show Me Quality Consulting is making an impact on zero gravity testing efforts for the next generation of NASA spacesuits.
In 2021, a team from SMQC’s partner company ASA and SMQC Chief Quality Officer Trent Russell conducted a Commercial Aviation Services inspection on Zero-G in Fairbanks, Alaska. Zero-G performs parabolic flight maneuvers in which on the downward pitch the flight experiences about 10 seconds of microgravity. This is enough for researchers and scientists to gather data in a gravity free environment, which otherwise would only be achievable in outer space. The inspection results allowed NASA to approve Zero-G as a qualified operator to conduct these missions for NASA.
Recently, Zero-G, in collaboration with the Collins Aerospace, conducted microgravity tests of the new NASA spacesuits designed for use on the International Space Station.
