.NASA's Scientific Balloon Program's fifth balloon mission of the 2024 fall project flew Wednesday, Sept. 4, 2024, from the firm's Columbia Scientific Balloon Location in Fortress Sumner, New Mexico. The HASP 1.0 (High-Altitude Trainee Platform) objective stayed in flight over 11 hrs prior to it safely touched down. Rehabilitation is underway.HASP is a collaboration one of the Louisiana Room Give Consortium, the Astrophysics Department of NASA's Scientific research Goal Directorate, and also the organization's Balloon Program Office and also Columbia Scientific Balloon Center. The HASP platform supports approximately 12 student-built hauls as well as is made to flight examination small gpses, prototypes, as well as other little experiments. Due to the fact that 2006, HASP has actually interacted greater than 1,600 undergraduate as well as graduate students involved in the objectives.Teams joining the 2024 HASP 1.0 flight featured: College of North Fla and College of North Dakota Arizona State Educational Institution Louisiana Condition College College of Colorado Rock College of the Canyons Fortress Lewis College Capitol Technical College University of Arizona Universidad Nacional de Ingenieru00eda (Peru) as well as McMaster Educational Institution (Canada).A brand new, bigger model of the High-Altitude Trainee System (HASP 2.0) had its engineering examination tour a handful of days prior. HASP 2.0 will certainly be able to fit two times as numerous trainee experiments as HASP 1.0 once working in the next year.The remaining 3 balloon flights booked for the 2024 Fort Sumner drop campaign wait for following launch possibilities.
