How does it feel to ride the Vomit Comet?

Engineers from Trinity College Dublin are among an elite team of researchers working aboard the ""Vomit Comet"" in zero-G. They are conducting experiments with the goal of designing technology that may one day enable people to explore the depths of space.

In this video (one of four 'shorts' from a recent mission) we hear from Dr Seamus O’Shaughnessy about the feeling of weightlessness while conducting research aboard the Vomit Comet. Dr O'Shaughnessy is Ussher Assistant Professor in Energy & Sustainable International Development at Trinity College Dublin.
