.NASA's Scientific Balloon Plan's 5th balloon goal of the 2024 loss project flew Wednesday, Sept. 4, 2024, from the company's Columbia Scientific Balloon Resource in Ft Sumner, New Mexico. The HASP 1.0 (High-Altitude Student System) mission continued to be in flight over 11 hours prior to it securely touched down. Recovery is underway.HASP is an alliance one of the Louisiana Space Grant Range, the Astrophysics Division of NASA's Scientific research Purpose Directorate, and also the firm's Balloon Plan Office and Columbia Scientific Balloon Establishment. The HASP system assists up to 12 student-built hauls and also is actually made to flight examination small satellites, models, and other little experiments. Due to the fact that 2006, HASP has actually involved more than 1,600 undergraduate and also college students involved in the missions.Staffs taking part in the 2024 HASP 1.0 tour included: Educational institution of North Fla and also University of North Dakota Arizona Condition University Louisiana State University University of Colorado Rock College of the Canyons Ft Lewis College Capitol Building Technical College College of Arizona Universidad Nacional de Ingenieru00eda (Peru) and also McMaster College (Canada).A brand new, larger version of the High-Altitude Trainee System (HASP 2.0) possessed its own design examination air travel a few times prior. HASP 2.0 will be able to fit twice as many trainee experiments as HASP 1.0 the moment working in the following year.The remaining three balloon air travels set up for the 2024 Ft Sumner drop initiative wait for next launch chances.
