University of Nebraska–Lincoln alumna Allison Porter Carpenter (center) floats during a zero-gravity parabolic flight as part of a study of the wearable gravity countermeasure “Skinsuit.” The flight took place aboard NASA’s specially modified “Vomit Comet,” which flies parabolic arcs to simulate 20- to 30-second periods of weightlessness for astronaut training and equipment testing.
