.NASA's Scientific Balloon System's fifth balloon purpose of the 2024 loss project took flight Wednesday, Sept. 4, 2024, from the agency's Columbia Scientific Balloon Location in Fortress Sumner, New Mexico. The HASP 1.0 (High-Altitude Student Platform) purpose continued to be in flight over 11 hrs prior to it properly touched down. Rehabilitation is actually underway.HASP is a relationship among the Louisiana Space Give Consortium, the Astrophysics Department of NASA's Science Goal Directorate, and the company's Balloon Plan Workplace and Columbia Scientific Balloon Center. The HASP system assists around 12 student-built hauls as well as is designed to tour test sleek gpses, prototypes, as well as other small experiments. Due to the fact that 2006, HASP has interacted much more than 1,600 undergraduate and also college students associated with the purposes.Crews participating in the 2024 HASP 1.0 trip included: University of North Florida and University of North Dakota Arizona State University Louisiana State Educational Institution University of Colorado Rock College of the Canyons Fort Lewis University Capitol Technical University Educational Institution of Arizona Universidad Nacional de Ingenieru00eda (Peru) and also McMaster College (Canada).A new, much larger version of the High-Altitude Trainee Platform (HASP 2.0) had its own engineering test air travel a handful of times prior. HASP 2.0 is going to have the capacity to fit two times as numerous pupil experiments as HASP 1.0 when working in the upcoming year.The continuing to be three balloon tours planned for the 2024 Fortress Sumner fall initiative await upcoming launch chances.
