.NASA's Scientific Balloon System's 5th balloon mission of the 2024 loss project took flight Wednesday, Sept. 4, 2024, coming from the organization's Columbia Scientific Balloon Resource in Ft Sumner, New Mexico. The HASP 1.0 (High-Altitude Pupil System) mission remained in trip over 11 hrs prior to it securely touched down. Healing is underway.HASP is a relationship one of the Louisiana Space Grant Range, the Astrophysics Division of NASA's Science Objective Directorate, and the firm's Balloon Course Office as well as Columbia Scientific Balloon Establishment. The HASP system sustains up to 12 student-built hauls and also is designed to air travel exam sleek satellites, models, and also various other tiny experiments. Because 2006, HASP has engaged greater than 1,600 undergraduate as well as graduate students associated with the goals.Staffs joining the 2024 HASP 1.0 trip included: College of North Fla as well as University of North Dakota Arizona State College Louisiana State University University of Colorado Boulder College of the Canyons Fort Lewis University Capitol Building Technical University University of Arizona Universidad Nacional de Ingenieru00eda (Peru) as well as McMaster College (Canada).A brand new, much larger version of the High-Altitude Trainee Platform (HASP 2.0) possessed its own design examination flight a couple of days prior. HASP 2.0 is going to have the capacity to fit two times as many pupil experiments as HASP 1.0 the moment operational in the next year.The staying 3 balloon flights planned for the 2024 Fortress Sumner drop project wait for next launch opportunities.
