Kate Upton floats through a zero-g chamber in this year’s Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, which hits newsstands today.

After Page Six reported in January the curvy model was shot for the issue in the zero-G chamber, photos were released today of the curvy blonde floating around in an anti-gravity chamber, operated by Zero-G Corporation in Arlington, VA.

“Upton flipped, floated and modeled in true weightlessness – as if in outer space,” Zero-G said in a press release on the photo shoot.

The shoot was set up last March in the Zero-G chamber, a specially equipped Boeing-727 that simulates zero-g in flight. “Upton bounced and soared through the plane for the cameras,” the release said.

Upton, a two time SI Swimsuit issue cover girl in 2012 and 2013, appears in an inside cover of this year’s issue, but the 2014 cover went to Nina Agdal, Chrissy Teigen and Lily Aldridge.

SI celebrates 50 years of the swimsuit issue this year and included sexy new photographs of past SI cover models, including Christie Brinkley, Petra Nemcova, Rachel Hunter and Heidi Klum.
