Boca Raton, Florida and San Diego, California — (August 6, 2013) – Zero Gravity Solutions, Inc. (ZGSI or “the Company”), trading symbol PK: ZGSI.PK, announced today that Dr. Michael Wiskerchen has joined the Company’s senior management team as Vice President, Spaceflight Operations. Dr. Wiskerchen, an internationally recognized senior member of the NASA space flight team, will be responsible for the organization and management of ZGSI’s upcoming International Space Station (ISS) space flight program. He will build upon the Company’s IP and research from six previous NASA-enabled flights to the ISS. Dr. Wiskerchen has spent the last several years developing public/private partnerships involving space-related research and commercial programs on the ISS.

During his time at NASA Dr. Wiskerchen served as program scientist for the space shuttle STS-9 mission (Spacelab 1). He was an integral part of the international team for the operational design of the ISS. More recently he facilitated the formation of the Biotechnology Space Research Alliance, a public/private partnership to stimulate research and commercial utilization on the ISS.

Richard Godwin, President and Chief Executive Officer of Zero Gravity Solutions, Inc., stated, “Dr. Wiskerchen’s years of hands-on experiences in flying NASA’s scientific missions and his initial efforts to commercialize the use of the ISS makes him uniquely qualified to assist our Company in facilitating and accomplishing our commercial business objectives.”

Dr. Wiskerchen stated, “ZGSI is in an ideal position to take advantage of emerging capabilities that are critical to the successful utilization of the ISS for research and commercial ventures. The first is the appearance of several commercial space transportation companies that provide essential access to and from space. The second is the transition from a government-managed space laboratory to one managed and operated by non-profit and/or commercial entities.” Dr. Wiskerchen further added, “I am pleased to be part of the team assembled by Zero Gravity Solutions, which has the scientific, space operations and business financial experience to monetize our scientific achievements in a weightless environment.”
