| ETC Announces Agreement with Incredible Adventures to Market Space Launch Experience Participants will get real taste of what it's like to launch into space |
| Southampton, Pa, April 4, 2007: - Environmental Tectonics Corporation (AMEX:ETC) ("ETC" or the "Company") today announced an agreement with Incredible Adventures of Sarasota, Florida, to offer 1-, 2-, and 3-day Introduction to Space Flight courses at ETC's National Aerospace Training and Research Center (NASTAR Center). These space launch courses are not as intense as training for a specific suborbital launch, which is a spaceflight that leaves the atmosphere, but returns to earth quickly, without achieving orbit. However, these experiences will give prospective private space travelers the thrill of launching into space while not actually leaving the ground, and will help them decide whether or not they are prepared for and truly interested in a suborbital flight.
"While our newest space adventure won't officially qualify you for a suborbital space flight," said Jane Reifert, President of Incredible Adventures, "it will give you a pretty good idea if you have the right stuff for space. Using the same sophisticated simulators used to train astronauts and fighter pilots, we'll test your senses (and your stomach) in ways you never imagined." The first courses will be offered in October. In addition to offering the Introduction to Space Launch courses through Incredible Adventures and serving the space launch customers for various suborbital launch providers, NASTAR Center will offer tactical flight training for military pilots, both U.S. and international; civilian pilot training in situational awareness and upset recovery; and support to researchers in gravitational physiology, human factors, equipment validation, and other applications requiring a high-G environment. William F. Mitchell, President and Chairman of ETC, stated, "We are very proud to be associated with Incredible Adventures. Their expertise in marketing high-end adventure travel combines perfectly with our innovative simulation technology to provide the ultimate space launch analog experience." NASTAR Center is a world-class full-service facility that houses state-of-the-art equipment and professional staff to support the training and research needs of the aerospace community, including military aviation (fixed and rotary wing), civil aviation (fixed and rotary wing), space travel (government and private) and research support and data collection. NASTAR Center's equipment and programs are highly modular and flexible and therefore able to accommodate a wide range of requirements. Incredible Adventures offers fighter jet flights in three countries, space adventures at Star City, three different great white shark dives, military adventures around the world, and much, much more. The company maintains a full-time staff in Sarasota and Moscow and a worldwide network of really incredible people ready to help fulfill your adventure dreams.
