Mission AstroAccess is an organization dedicated to promoting disability inclusion in space exploration. In October 2021, the pilot cohort of Disabled Ambassadors were launched into orbit on a Zero Gravity Corporation parabolic flight to experience weightlessness and investigate microgravity accessibility solutions. The second AstroAccess Flight will take place on November 19, 2022, in Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This book serves to outline the stories and perspectives of those who participated in this historical initiative. Several of the authors have shadowed, interviewed, and studied the members of the Mission AstroAccess crew and have been involved in extensive research surrounding the mission, the team, and their backgrounds. Over the course of this book, we will be introduced to several characters that have played critical roles in the shaping of Mission AstroAccess.
