.NASA's Scientific Balloon Course's 5th balloon mission of the 2024 autumn project took flight Wednesday, Sept. 4, 2024, coming from the agency's Columbia Scientific Balloon Center in Ft Sumner, New Mexico. The HASP 1.0 (High-Altitude Pupil System) mission continued to be in trip over 11 hrs just before it safely and securely touched down. Healing is underway.HASP is actually a relationship one of the Louisiana Area Grant Range, the Astrophysics Department of NASA's Science Objective Directorate, and also the organization's Balloon Program Workplace and also Columbia Scientific Balloon Center. The HASP platform supports around 12 student-built payloads as well as is actually developed to tour test compact gpses, prototypes, as well as other small experiments. Because 2006, HASP has actually interacted much more than 1,600 undergraduate as well as college students involved in the missions.Staffs participating in the 2024 HASP 1.0 tour consisted of: University of North Florida as well as Educational Institution of North Dakota Arizona Condition University Louisiana Condition University College of Colorado Rock University of the Canyons Fort Lewis College Capitol Building Technical University University of Arizona Universidad Nacional de Ingenieru00eda (Peru) and also McMaster University (Canada).A brand new, much larger model of the High-Altitude Trainee Platform (HASP 2.0) possessed its own design examination trip a handful of days prior. HASP 2.0 will definitely have the capacity to fit two times as numerous trainee experiments as HASP 1.0 once operational in the upcoming year.The remaining 3 balloon flights arranged for the 2024 Fortress Sumner fall project wait for upcoming launch possibilities.
