[ES_JOBS_NET] MISSION: ASTROACCESS — A Call For Disabled Explorers to Experience Zero Gravity!

[Sumant Jha]

Excellent opportunity to experience and experiment in zero gravity for
disabled STEM practitioners!

We are excited to announce the launch of Mission: AstroAccess, a program
bringing a diverse group of disabled space enthusiasts on a historic ZERO-G
parabolic flight! Participants will complete targeted tasks during the
program’s flight to help answer basic questions about how disabled people
can live and work in outer space. Mission: AstroAccess’ crew of disabled
volunteers will take flight on October 17th, 2021, as the first step in a
progression towards increasing diversity in space and the greater STEM
field.
