.NASA's Scientific Balloon System's fifth balloon goal of the 2024 autumn campaign flew Wednesday, Sept. 4, 2024, from the agency's Columbia Scientific Balloon Resource in Ft Sumner, New Mexico. The HASP 1.0 (High-Altitude Trainee Platform) objective stayed in tour over 11 hrs just before it safely touched down. Recovery is underway.HASP is an alliance one of the Louisiana Space Give Consortium, the Astrophysics Branch of NASA's Science Objective Directorate, and also the firm's Balloon System Workplace and also Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility. The HASP platform assists as much as 12 student-built hauls and also is made to air travel exam small satellites, prototypes, and also various other tiny experiments. Given that 2006, HASP has actually interacted much more than 1,600 undergraduate as well as graduate students associated with the purposes.Crews joining the 2024 HASP 1.0 flight consisted of: Educational institution of North Fla and also University of North Dakota Arizona State University Louisiana State College University of Colorado Boulder College of the Canyons Fortress Lewis University Capitol Technical College College of Arizona Universidad Nacional de Ingenieru00eda (Peru) and McMaster Educational Institution (Canada).A brand-new, much larger version of the High-Altitude Trainee System (HASP 2.0) possessed its own design examination tour a couple of days prior. HASP 2.0 will definitely manage to suit twice as lots of student experiments as HASP 1.0 the moment functional in the next year.The remaining three balloon air travels arranged for the 2024 Fort Sumner drop project await following launch opportunities.
