Teresa Pultarovar will be on a parabolic flight from Bordeaux , France , tomorrow .

The flight will simulate lunar and Martian gravity.

The plane is the largest in the world that can be used for parabolic flights.

The cabin has been stripped of almost all of its internal equipment, there are only a few seats left.

10 scientific teams from all over Europe are installing their equipment, making sure it's secured in a way that it won't pose any risk.

We're testing hardware and systems that we're really going to take to the moon to see if we can get them working the way we want in a much kind of cheaper and easier environment.

Toma Pascay has a go piloting a device that might one day help astronauts transport equipment on the moon's surface.

Toma says he finds 2 G during the pull up particularly challenging, but so far so good.

He will certainly remember this experience for the rest of his life.
