.NASA's Scientific Balloon Plan's fifth balloon mission of the 2024 autumn project flew Wednesday, Sept. 4, 2024, from the organization's Columbia Scientific Balloon Resource in Fortress Sumner, New Mexico. The HASP 1.0 (High-Altitude Trainee System) mission continued to be in flight over 11 hours just before it securely touched down. Rehabilitation is underway.HASP is actually an alliance among the Louisiana Space Grant Range, the Astrophysics Department of NASA's Scientific research Mission Directorate, and the agency's Balloon Program Workplace and also Columbia Scientific Balloon Location. The HASP platform sustains as much as 12 student-built payloads and also is actually developed to trip test compact satellites, models, as well as various other tiny practices. Since 2006, HASP has engaged more than 1,600 undergraduate as well as graduate students associated with the purposes.Staffs participating in the 2024 HASP 1.0 flight consisted of: College of North Florida and College of North Dakota Arizona State Educational Institution Louisiana Condition College University of Colorado Rock University of the Canyons Ft Lewis College Capitol Technical University Educational Institution of Arizona Universidad Nacional de Ingenieru00eda (Peru) and also McMaster College (Canada).A brand new, larger version of the High-Altitude Student System (HASP 2.0) had its own engineering test tour a couple of days prior. HASP 2.0 will certainly have the ability to accommodate two times as lots of trainee practices as HASP 1.0 when functional in the following year.The staying three balloon flights scheduled for the 2024 Fort Sumner fall project await upcoming launch possibilities.
