FreeFly Astronaut Project

Zipser will forego the previous balloon-lift method used by the current record-holder, and instead will jump from an IOS SR 145 rocket. This is not a stunt.

An endeavour to fly Higher, Longer and Faster whilst developing the human capability, procedures, protocols, equipment & technology to enable future space travellers to return safely from high-altitude / low-Earth-orbit in the event of a space emergency. World-renowned skydiver Olav Zipser has chosen Mojave rocket manufacturer Interorbital Systems as the launch provider for his attempt to break Jo

e Kittinger’s 1960 high-altitude jump record. The launcher will propel Olav to an altitude of over 40 kilometers (about 25 miles)---higher than any manned balloon can possibly go---where he will eject from the launch vehicle and FreeFly back towards earth in what he intends to be the longest, fastest, and highest skydive in history: his FreeFly Astronaut Project.
“This initial record attempt will be the first of a whole program, culminating with a dive from above the Karman line (100km), from a real space altitude. This is a research mission. I created the sport of FreeFlying and have gathered a great deal of important data, but more work is required. That’s why committing to five rocket launches with IOS; these FreeFly events will happen at increasingly higher altitudes. This scientific data will be gathered to develop a safe return method that will benefit the entire aerospace industry—I can even see this as a new extreme sport with unlimited potential,” Zipser stated. Olav leaves in two weeks for Russia, where he will attend the MAXS Air Show and begin a stay at Star City, for training and collaboration on the development of a supersonic spacesuit that can be used as an economical rescue/return alternative for astronauts and space tourists.

"Interorbital Systems is very pleased to accept
Olav Zipser's choice of our
NEPTUNE-Series rocket system as the
preferred method of ascent in his effort to
break the world altitude skydiving record, and to
amass a new collection of experimental data
on the rapid FreeFlying descent from the zones between
orbital EVAs and high altitude aircraft operations. We look forward to launching Olav Zipser
on his "FreeFly Astronaut Program"
in the fourth quarter of 2012 ."

Freeflying

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Freeflying is a skydiving discipline which began in 1990 when Olav Zipser began experimenting with non-traditional forms of body flight. FreeFly Astronaut Project

Objective:
The goal of the FreeFly Astronaut Program is to improve the lives of mankindʼs first space pioneers. The FreeFly Astronaut Program FFAP will help to create the capability to safely decent from the edge of space in case of an emergency. The launcher will propel Olav to an altitude of over 40 kilometers (about 25 miles)—higher than any manned balloon can possibly go—where he will eject from the launch vehicle and FreeFly back towards earth
“This initial record attempt will be the first of a whole program, culminating with a dive from above the Karman line (100km), from a real space altitude. FreeFly Astronaut Project
“We believe that the data and scientific information you will gather in this planned series of increasingly higher altitude jumps will prove to have intrinsic value and will enhance the safety of future space pilots and tourists. It is our privilege and pleasure to work with you in this fascinating and most important project.”
Best from Mojave,

**Join Me in a Global Journey of Human Flight!**

Hello Friends and Fellow Flyers,

I’m thrilled to announce an exciting new project that combines my passion for skydiving and writing. I’m embarking on a journey to write my next book, and I want YOU to be a part of it!

As many of you know,
I’m Olav Zipser, and I have the honor of being inducted into the Hall of Fame of the Skydiving Museum International. This incredible journey has inspired me to delve deeper into our sport and uncover the newest talents shaping its future.

My book will explore the art of human flight, delving into the most thrilling and cutting-edge aspects of our sport. From the dynamic world of freeflying to the daring feats of BASE wingsuit flying and high-altitude experiments, I aim to highlight the pioneers and rising stars who are pushing the boundaries of what’s possible.

To achieve this, I need your help. I’m calling on my friends in the FreeFly skydiving community from all corners of the globe. If you’re involved in any new or advanced form of human flight or know someone who is, I want to hear from you! Share your stories, experiences, and insights. Who do you think is at the top of their game right now? Who are the innovators and trailblazers in our community?

Your contributions will be invaluable in shaping this book and showcasing the incredible talent and creativity within our sport. Let’s come together to celebrate the fearless spirit of human flight and inspire the next generation of flyers.

Please reach out to me via [Your Contact Information or Social Media Handles] or comment below. Let’s make this book a true testament to the extraordinary world of skydiving and human flight.

Blue skies and
FreeFly your Mind !

FreeFly your Mind

Olav Zipser | D-11733 Olav Zipser spearheaded the freefly revolution of the early 1990s. He, along with a group of jumpers known as the Freefly Clowns, pioneered head-down skydiving and freeflying as we know it today. Zipser founded the Space Games freefly competition and has earned numerous championships and records, as...

The original legend....

On this day in 1960, U.S. Air Force Capt. Joseph W. Kittinger made a record-setting high altitude parachute jump, stepping from a balloon-supported gondola at the altitude of 102,800 ft. In free fall for 4 minutes and 36 seconds at speeds up to 614 mph, he opened his parachute at 17,500 ft. Kittinger set world records for the highest parachute jump, longest parachute free fall, and the fastest speed by a human being through the atmosphere.

No Pressure Suits? Bezos, Branson Spark Alarm Over Safety in Space

15/08/2021

“The reality is when you go to space, you don’t dress with nice stuff, you dress with the right stuff,” said Tommaso Sgobba (former European Space Agency official and executive director of the International Association for the Advancement of Space Safety).

We, as Space Emergency Rescue Solutions - www.SERS.Space and the FreeFly Astronaut Project have have this to say...

"The NewSpace and emerging Space Tourism industries urgently need a method to safely and efficiently bring people - crew, passengers and tourists - back to Earth in the event of catastrophic spacecraft failure or space emergency"

Currently there is no Plan B... no 'Life Vest' for space!

The FreeFly Astronaut Project is an endeavour to fly Higher, Longer and Faster whilst developing the human capability, procedures, protocols, equipment & technology to enable future space travelers to return safely from high-altitude / low-Earth-orbit in the event of a space emergency

No Pressure Suits? Bezos, Branson Spark Alarm Over Safety in Space The billionaires who blasted into space in recent weeks did so with style. Blue Origin’s Jeff Bezos sported a cowboy hat after landing and Richard Branson wore a blue Virgin Galactic jumpsuit he’d called “sexy.”
