.NASA's Scientific Balloon Program's fifth balloon mission of the 2024 autumn project flew Wednesday, Sept. 4, 2024, from the firm's Columbia Scientific Balloon Location in Ft Sumner, New Mexico. The HASP 1.0 (High-Altitude Student Platform) objective remained in trip over 11 hrs just before it carefully touched down. Healing is underway.HASP is actually a collaboration one of the Louisiana Area Give Consortium, the Astrophysics Branch of NASA's Science Goal Directorate, and the organization's Balloon Program Office and also Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility. The HASP system sustains up to 12 student-built hauls as well as is made to trip examination sleek satellites, prototypes, as well as various other little experiments. Because 2006, HASP has actually interacted more than 1,600 undergraduate as well as graduate students associated with the goals.Teams joining the 2024 HASP 1.0 tour featured: College of North Florida and also University of North Dakota Arizona State Educational Institution Louisiana State University College of Colorado Rock University of the Canyons Fortress Lewis University Capitol Building Technical University College of Arizona Universidad Nacional de Ingenieru00eda (Peru) and McMaster College (Canada).A new, larger model of the High-Altitude Trainee Platform (HASP 2.0) had its own engineering examination flight a couple of days prior. HASP 2.0 will have the ability to accommodate two times as several student practices as HASP 1.0 the moment working in the following year.The remaining 3 balloon air travels scheduled for the 2024 Ft Sumner drop project await upcoming launch options.
