Southampton, PA, USA. February 4, 2013 - The NASTAR® Center, the premier
commercial aerospace training and research center, announced today it signed a
teaming agreement with Zero Gravity Corporation (ZERO-G) to provide space
training programs and opportunities to pilots as well as crew, participants and
general public audiences.

The goals of the collaboration are to advance the awareness, education and
preparation of upcoming commercial space travelers, as well as provide exciting
space experiences for general audiences everywhere.

Space training has been a standard part of professional astronaut training since
the earliest days of space exploration. Space training can encompass many
elements, but at its core it ensures space flight participants can survive and
enjoy the journey to and from space; particularly, the launch, the
weightlessness and the reentry phases of flight. Training   to operate under the
high G's of rocket launch and reentry is the specialty of NASTAR Center, while
ZERO-G provides microgravity training so participants learn to function
effectively in space environments.

The NASTAR Center is the world's leading provider of training services for
commercial suborbital space flights and is able to support a variety of nominal
and off-nominal scenarios and task objectives for suborbital and orbital
spaceflight missions  It is the first facility to receive safety approval from
the Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) to conduct suborbital space training
and now holds two of the four total safety approvals issued by the FAA (altitude
training and launch/reentry high-G training). To date, more than 250 future
space travelers have prepared for space at the NASTAR Center in Southampton, Pa.

Of the partnership, ZERO-G co-founder and former Space Shuttle Astronaut Byron
Lichtenberg remarked, "space travel requires humans to quickly adapt to rapidly
changing and completely new environments.  Training in the most realistic
analogs possible has been, and will continue to be, fundamental to passenger and
crew effectiveness and safety. ZERO-G is in a unique position to provide that
training and NASTAR will be a strong partner."

ZERO-G uses a specially modified Boeing 727, G-FORCE ONE(TM), to perform
aerobatic maneuvers known as parabolas to create the reduced environments
encountered during suborbital and orbital flights. Training participants also
experience Martian and Lunar gravity conditions as well as up to 1.8 G's of
hyper gravity.  Issued a safety approval in 2011 by the FAA Office of Commercial
Space Transportation for crew qualification and flight training, ZERO-G has
flown 320 commercial parabolic missions for more than 9,000 people worldwide and
holds the contract to conduct NASA's microgravity research and education
programs.

"We are interested in forming partnerships that add value for our clients,"
states Brienna Henwood, director of space training and research at NASTAR
Center. "Zero G is a great complement to our capability-we can put the G's on,
and they take them off. It's a great match."

Together, the companies aim to provide a comprehensive training solution for
interested audiences and spaceflight clients. Look for opportunities and
announcements from both companies in the year to follow.
