MADRID, Oct. 27, 2021 /PRNewswire/ -- 0-G Launch, an innovative Washington DC-based provider of the Space Jettm horizontal rocket air-launch and microgravity service aircraft, and the Canary Islands Aeronautic and Aerospace Cluster -CAAC, an international center of excellence dedicated to promoting companies in the aeronautical-aerospace sector in the archipelago, today announced the signature of an agreement to initiate consumer zero-gravity parabolic flights from the islands in 2023.
