During her flight, Bangalore will experience both weightlessness and "the opposite of weightlessness," also known as hyper-gravity, "which is about 1.8 times the gravity here on Earth." While the feeling of weightlessness will not last very long, Bangalore is still very excited.
"We're going to be about at 25,000 feet in altitude, and we're going to be doing a parabolic flight, which is basically a series of arcs up and down," Bangalore explained. "At the top of each of these arcs, you experience weightlessness for about 30 seconds. And so we're going to be doing about 15 of these arcs." "For the totality of the flight, you experience zero gravity for about 8 minutes," she continued.
