.NASA's Scientific Balloon System's fifth balloon goal of the 2024 autumn project took flight Wednesday, Sept. 4, 2024, from the company's Columbia Scientific Balloon Center in Fort Sumner, New Mexico. The HASP 1.0 (High-Altitude Trainee System) goal remained in tour over 11 hours prior to it safely touched down. Recuperation is actually underway.HASP is a relationship one of the Louisiana Room Grant Consortium, the Astrophysics Division of NASA's Scientific research Purpose Directorate, and also the organization's Balloon Plan Office and also Columbia Scientific Balloon Location. The HASP platform assists up to 12 student-built payloads and is actually created to flight exam sleek gpses, models, and other tiny experiments. Because 2006, HASP has involved greater than 1,600 undergraduate as well as graduate students involved in the missions.Teams joining the 2024 HASP 1.0 tour consisted of: College of North Florida as well as University of North Dakota Arizona State Educational Institution Louisiana State College University of Colorado Stone College of the Canyons Fortress Lewis College Capitol Technical University College of Arizona Universidad Nacional de Ingenieru00eda (Peru) and McMaster University (Canada).A brand new, bigger variation of the High-Altitude Trainee Platform (HASP 2.0) had its own engineering test tour a handful of times prior. HASP 2.0 is going to be able to fit two times as numerous trainee experiments as HASP 1.0 once operational in the next year.The continuing to be three balloon air travels set up for the 2024 Fortress Sumner fall campaign await next launch possibilities.
