Video of the moment when children with disabilities first experienced the weightless state for the first time

French National Space Research Center(CNES), an airline that carries out flight aimed at experiments of zero gravity experience and weightlessnessNovaspaceWhenESA (European Space Agency), And a group that supports children with handicaps based in EuropeReves de GosseCooperated and a program called "Children with disabilities to experience weightlessness" was held on August 24, 2017. "With the Novaspace owned Airbus aircraft that the children boardedParabolic FlightIn this plan that creates weightlessness, "the movie which recorded the appearance of children's experiences of weightlessness for the first time is released on YouTube.

Extraordinary Kids fly in ZERO GRAVITY! 4K


Airas bus owned by Novaspace.


ESA's astronaut who explains to the participants said, "On this day we will give surprises to children and adults and leave something irreplaceable for them."


Participants listening to explanations with exciting expressions. If you look closely, you can see that the girl in front is sitting on a wheelchair.


A wheelchair boy who listens interestingly.


A young man sitting on a wheelchair is placing his hand on the shoulder of the next woman. I participated in this program with 8 children gathered from the five countries of the ESA member countries UK, France, Germany, Belgium, Italy and two adults.


Six astronauts of ESA to board the Airbus machine that will be in the zero gravity state will explain prior notice to children and adults participating.


As the execution approaches, the boy that the excitement can not be suppressed.


The time of execution finally arrived.


By pilot maneuvering ......


The Airbus machine fly to the sky.


ESA's astronauts who participated are shouldering in the Airbus cabin.


An astronaut who talks to make the children relax before they become zero gravity.


This adult man, one of the participants, seems to care a little about the foot.


A woman giving a look with a combination of excitement and tension towards the camera.


And the Airbus aircraft which was in a horizontal state started to rise. In the parabolic flight, after raise the model, narrow down the engine output and reproduce the zero gravity state by performing a parabolic flight.


A man with a happy look.


This girl answers with a thumbs up to an astronaut's woman.


When the aircraft rises to a certain extent, when the pilot narrows the output of the engine ......


A false zero gravity is created in the Airbus machine in a free falling state, and a man who cheers unexpectedly to the body which floats up in fluff.


This boy tries to receive a ball from an astronaut's man ... ...


I moved while floating in the opposite direction to the floating ball and I missed it.


A girl who grabs a pole to support the body and shows a smile.


This boy is spinning in the air while being supported by an astronaut.


In the cabin, safety net is set up, and apples and PET bottles are floated in the air to enjoy zero gravity condition.


Girls' hair also spread like a fan in weightless state.


Even a man who had a hard face earlier also has this smile.


It seems that all the participants enjoyed the state of weightlessness for a while.
