WASHINGTON - 0-G Launch, a Washington DC-based provider of the Space Jet aircraft for microgravity services and horizontal rocket air-launch, and Global Aviation Ventures, a firm with expertise in aviation, aerospace and defense sectors, announced the signature of their agreement to join forces on deploying a global fleet of specialized aircraft to provide services to the growing space economy, which is predicted to grow into a $1 trillion industry within the next decade.

As part of this agreement, 0-G Launch and GAV will jointly procure, license and operate specially-modified commercial jets to provide global microgravity services for consumer zero-gravity flights, testing of science payloads before sending them to space, and astronaut training. In addition, these specialized aircraft will be equipped for horizontal air-launch and testing of hypersonic vehicle and small orbital rocket developers, by lofting these customer's payloads under its fuselage at up to 40,000 ft.
