Simulating Weightlessness

The C-9 jet is one of the tools used by NASA to simulate reduced gravity that astronauts feel once they leave Earth. The C-9 jet flies a special parabolic pattern that creates several brief periods of reduced gravity. Students use their knowledge of parametric equations to study the C-9 jet's flight pattern.
