.NASA's Scientific Balloon Program's 5th balloon goal of the 2024 autumn campaign flew Wednesday, Sept. 4, 2024, from the agency's Columbia Scientific Balloon Location in Fort Sumner, New Mexico. The HASP 1.0 (High-Altitude Student System) purpose stayed in flight over 11 hours before it securely touched down. Recuperation is underway.HASP is a relationship among the Louisiana Area Grant Consortium, the Astrophysics Branch of NASA's Scientific research Objective Directorate, and the company's Balloon Plan Office as well as Columbia Scientific Balloon Amenities. The HASP platform assists up to 12 student-built hauls as well as is actually designed to tour test small satellites, prototypes, and also various other small experiments. Since 2006, HASP has involved greater than 1,600 undergraduate and graduate students associated with the missions.Staffs taking part in the 2024 HASP 1.0 trip consisted of: University of North Florida and also University of North Dakota Arizona State College Louisiana Condition University Educational Institution of Colorado Stone University of the Canyons Ft Lewis University Capitol Technical University University of Arizona Universidad Nacional de Ingenieru00eda (Peru) and McMaster Educational Institution (Canada).A brand new, bigger model of the High-Altitude Pupil Platform (HASP 2.0) had its design test tour a couple of times prior. HASP 2.0 is going to manage to suit twice as several trainee experiments as HASP 1.0 once functional in the upcoming year.The remaining 3 balloon flights arranged for the 2024 Fort Sumner drop project await next launch possibilities.
