FJET inks MOU with Mu‑G to pursue NASA parabolic/microgravity flight capability
AI Summary
Starfighters Space (FJET) signed a memorandum of understanding with Mu‑G Technologies and jointly responded to a NASA Armstrong RFI seeking parabolic flight services, and will host Mu‑G's Dassault Falcon 50 at Midland for modification, flight testing and FAA certification. The partnership would offer microgravity, reduced-/hyper-gravity and supersonic test regimes using the Falcon 50 plus Starfighters' F‑104 fleet, positioning FJET to compete to restore a domestic commercial microgravity capability — note this is an MOU/RFI response, not a firm NASA contract.
Positives
- Signed MOU with Mu‑G to host/modify a Falcon 50 at Midland for parabolic/microgravity flights
- Combined offering covers microgravity, reduced-/hyper-gravity and supersonic regimes using Falcon 50 plus F‑104 fleet
- Company already flies revenue missions for Lockheed, Space Florida and AFRL and recently added senior Blue Origin engineers
Negatives
- Announcement is an MOU and a joint response to an RFI, not a guaranteed NASA contract
- Planned capability depends on aircraft modification and FAA certification, creating execution and timing risk
- Article distribution discloses paid promotion and conflicts of interest, which may bias messaging
