About Dovespace
Since 2016, Dovespace has been the exclusive partner of Novespace for all Air Zero-G bookings from Switzerland, Germany and Austria. The company, based in Burgdorf, brokers and organizes parabolic flights aboard the Airbus A310 ZERO-G, a flying laboratory with 100 m² of experiment space and 200 m³ of volume. During 15 parabolic maneuvers, the same physical weightlessness as in space is created; on scientific flights, phases of 22 seconds are generated per parabola, so that approx. 10 minutes of weightlessness per flight and over 30 minutes per standard campaign are achieved. Dovespace offers exploration flights for private individuals, incentive flights for companies, as well as accompaniment and preparation of scientific flight campaigns in fields such as physiology, cell biology, fluid physics, combustion science, atomic physics and space technologies. On board, customers are looked after by instructors with many years of technical and scientific experience in spaceflight.
