About
HEMERIA’s zero gravity balloons are designed to compensate for Earth’s gravitational pull, enabling the simulation of zero-gravity environments. These balloons are crucial during the integration and testing phases of space vehicles, ensuring they operate under conditions similar to those in space. Beyond space vehicle testing, they are also practical for facilitating the movement of equipment within workshops or clean rooms. The product range includes various models such as ZERO-G 3.2, ZERO-G 4.0, ZERO-G 5.0, and ZERO-G 6.8, offering different balloon diameters, volumes, and maximum payload capacities. These products are proven in operation with several European satellite manufacturers, manufactured in Toulouse, France, and comply with the stringent quality and reliability standards expected in the space industry.
