Experience zero gravity with speed + precision
A moment like on the moon
After a briefing at the Novespace research center and getting to know the crew, the "Moon Team" took off into the sky above southern France with a total of ten participants. 15 parabolas - plus a spontaneous additional lap - took the team from 1.8 G acceleration to floating in the void. In one of the phases, a balloon filled with water was even burst - the glittering drops danced freely in space.
Between fascination and speechlessness
"I've experienced many things, but this was indescribable," says Ulrich Bornmann, who was there for fabrikon , adding: "It's hard to describe ... like being underwater, only without resistance." After landing, there was silence, amazement - and a glass to celebrate the return to gravity.
On board: fabrikonchen in zero gravity
Our mascot fabrikonchen floated along, of course - and was just as speechless as the crew after the 16th parabola. On completion, all participants hold the title "Astronaut for a day" - the certificate a visible sign of an experience that will be remembered:
"Once in a lifetime - that will burn itself into our memories."
"I'm still blown away - and I dreamt about the 17th parable last night."
The reason for fabrikon to award this extraordinary prize was our 5th anniversary, for which Samuel Koch gave a lecture on the subject of weightlessness - his book "schwerelos" (weightless) was given as a guest gift.

The next competition will be launched at BUILDINX 2025 under the motto
"Win relaxation with speed + precision."
The main prize: a culture and wellness weekend in the UNESCO World Heritage Site Bergpark Wilhelmshöhe.
