.NASA's Scientific Balloon Program's fifth balloon mission of the 2024 autumn campaign took flight Wednesday, Sept. 4, 2024, from the organization's Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility in Fort Sumner, New Mexico. The HASP 1.0 (High-Altitude Pupil System) goal continued to be in trip over 11 hrs just before it carefully touched down. Rehabilitation is underway.HASP is a partnership among the Louisiana Space Grant Consortium, the Astrophysics Department of NASA's Scientific research Goal Directorate, as well as the firm's Balloon Plan Office as well as Columbia Scientific Balloon Center. The HASP platform supports around 12 student-built hauls and also is designed to tour exam compact satellites, prototypes, and also other little practices. Since 2006, HASP has interacted greater than 1,600 undergraduate and also college students associated with the objectives.Crews participating in the 2024 HASP 1.0 trip featured: College of North Florida and also University of North Dakota Arizona Condition University Louisiana Condition College College of Colorado Rock University of the Canyons Fortress Lewis University Capitol Building Technical University Educational Institution of Arizona Universidad Nacional de Ingenieru00eda (Peru) as well as McMaster Educational Institution (Canada).A brand-new, larger model of the High-Altitude Student Platform (HASP 2.0) had its design test flight a few days prior. HASP 2.0 will definitely be able to fit two times as many trainee experiments as HASP 1.0 the moment operational in the next year.The continuing to be 3 balloon flights scheduled for the 2024 Fortress Sumner drop campaign wait for upcoming launch possibilities.
