Here are some examples of students graphically illustrating their hypothesis about how a tennis ball will fall in lunar and regular earth gravity.

I submitted an audio recording from the flight that was incorporated into Episode #116 of the Airplane Geeks podcast. This will be heard by many aviation enthusiasts around the world. You can listen to the podcast online here -- our segment is at the 41 minute mark -- or just listen to the recording I sent in.

Here are the professional photos of our trip from the wonderful folks at GZeroG.com. A slideshow is below, or you can jump to the control case of our experiment in action.

Our flight has been featured on Local TV news. The first clip is out from WLOX-TV news in Mississippi. You can watch the video (including clips of our experiment) and read the article. The video segment is on the far right side.

[Update 1: Video from the SunHerald featuring our partner Mr. Cole is out as well.] [Update 2: An article about Mr. Cole that goes with the video.]


[Update 3: An article and great photo of a science experiment from another group of teachers on our flight, taken from the blog GulfLive.com]



[Update 4: Another segment -- this one from FOX-10 News in Mobile appeared on Wednesday night and has a great shot of water in Zero-Gravity.]

Thanks to ninth grader H.M.G., we have a 3D image from Google Earth and FlightWise of our flight path. It shows New Orleans, Lake Ponchartrain, and our trajectory over the Gulf. Very cool!

We have uploaded a video preview of our experiment results to TeacherTube. This is from our very first parabola, which simulated Martian Gravity (one third that of earth). You can see us having some trouble conducting the experiment as we get acclimated to the reduced gravity.

Towards the end of the video, we pull out of the dive and experience greatly increased gravity. It is pushing us down hard enough that we are struggling to sit up. Notice how the balls begin to fall to the floor much faster the last two times.

Our apologies for the low-quality -- a much better one is coming soon from Ms. Sins' camcorder which recorded the whole experiment.

I've created a photo album using Picasa with all the pictures from our cell phones. Hopefully this will not be blocked on the school network! The best shots, including those from the actual Zero-G part of the flight, are from the company photographers on the flight and we should have access to these in a couple of days.

Mr. I is excited, and second-lining with an airsickness bag outside the plane.

The lab for our experiments.

We were a little bit nervous before take-off.

Bracing during 1.8g before the top of the first parabola.

It feels great to be back home in New Orleans after an amazing day at Gulfport-Biloxi International Airport! Photos and video are to come, but in the meantime check out these resources and links.

Thanks so much to the Northrop Grumman foundation for making this all possible!
