Project Zero-G's command crew is now complete. The twenty of the most successful young space enthusiasts, who have undergone thorough testing over the past six months demonstrating the real astronaut selection process, will be accompanied on board the parabolic flight by a five-member command crew. The cadets will be commanded by Czech astronaut-in-training Aleš Svoboda and accompanied by the commanders of the individual parts of the aircraft: Yemi A.D., Jan Spratek, Simon Klinga and Jana Plodková, known from the cult series Kosmo.
