Over the last two decades the greatest, most rapid, and most visible technical progress has occurred in that part of the economy which can be referred to as the weightless economy. This can be defined as a combination of information and communications technology (ICT), intellectual property embedded in, among others, pharmaceutical products, electronic libraries, databases, and digital media.  3, record 1, English, - weightless%20economy

The Boeing 707 KC-135 that flies parabolic arcs to create short periods of weightlessness, used by the NASA to train pilots and astronauts and so named for the effect its near-zero gravity environment has on its crew.  3, record 2, English, - Vomit%20Comet

Record number: 2, Textual support number: 1 CONT

NASA normally uses the Vomit Comet to train astronauts, test equipment and carry out experiments. The fun starts when the plane noses over into a steep dive, creating a free fall that simulates the weightlessness of outer space. But the price for 30 seconds of floating fun is sudden, equal doses of two Gs, or a doubling of Earth's gravity. It's the sudden reversal that causes many passengers to lose their lunch.  4, record 2, English, - Vomit%20Comet

Commonly known as the "Vomit Comet" or "Weightless Wonder" this particular plane, a Boeing 707, started out life in 1959 as an Air Force aerial tanker, but was used in the space agency's microgravity experiments from 1973 to 1995.  2, record 2, English, - Vomit%20Comet

En route pour le vomitorium. La piscine ne simule que jusqu'à un certain point les conditions de l'espace. Dans une piscine, les astronautes ont beau flotter, leur circulation sanguine ne se fait pas comme dans l'espace où il n'y a ni haut, ni bas. On doit donc leur faire goûter au véritable «zéro gravité». Et pour cela, rien de tel qu'un vol à bord du KC-135, surnommé «the Vomit Comet». Cet avion, qui monte et descend en flèche, n'arrive à reproduire l'apesanteur que pour des périodes de 25 à 30 secondes. Périodes néanmoins suffisantes à certains pour voir remonter à la surface les restes de leurs repas des 24 dernières heures.  2, record 2, French, - com%C3%A8te%20naus%C3%A9euse

The Weightless Environment Training Facility (WETF)... consists of a water-filled pool with dimensions of 25 ft. (depth) x 78 ft. (length) x 33 ft. (width). Also included, is a urification system, environmental controls, television monitoring, a 5-ton capacity overhead crane, a test director, and medical support personnel ... The WETF is a controlled neutral buoyancy facility used to simulate the conditions of weightlessness for astronaut training. It provides for the evaluation of body restraints, handholds, and extravehicular activity (EVA) equipment; for the development of crew procedures and for the determination of EVA capabilities and workload limits. The facility provides high fidelity simulations of crew on-orbit operations in a controlled environment and substantially reduces human risks when performing EVA operations.  2, record 3, English, - weightless%20environment%20training%20facility
