Kate Upton posed in zero gravity conditions wearing a gold bikini for the 50th Anniversary Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue. The photo shoot took place in a Zero Gravity Plane, known as G-FORCE ONE, at the Space Coast Regional Airport at Cape Canaveral in Florida.

ZERO-G is the first and only FAA- approved provider of commercial weightless airline flights for the public.

Enjoy!

Her blonde curls swung around her face as the 21-year-old model floated in space – in conditions perfected to allow astronauts to train for their missions.

Video showed Kate attempting to keep her curves inside her tiny swimsuit as she twisted and turned, while assistants threw accessories her way.

Water droplets floated around her face as she smiled for the camera.

With a hair stylist to keep her locks under control, make-up artist, photographers, videographers and editors all onboard, there was a crowd watching as grinning Kate proved ever the professional.

Science Bob and 30 other teachers launched 2,000 ping pong balls in zero gravity as part of Northrop Grumman Foundation’s Weightless Flights of Discovery program. Also joining us was Kerry Sanders of the Today Show. Weightless flight is accomplished by flying in parabolas in reserved airspace aboard a modified 727 aircraft. Each weightless experience lasts about 30 seconds.

In this Let’s Talk Science event with students from Airdrie, Alberta, Chris Hadfield describes how a person’s sense of taste changes in weightlessness. He then shares a collection of Canadian food brought to the Station on board SpaceX’s Dragon. Maple syrup in a tube, anyone?
