.NASA's Scientific Balloon Program's fifth balloon purpose of the 2024 autumn campaign flew Wednesday, Sept. 4, 2024, from the agency's Columbia Scientific Balloon Center in Fortress Sumner, New Mexico. The HASP 1.0 (High-Altitude Trainee System) objective stayed in air travel over 11 hours prior to it securely touched down. Rehabilitation is actually underway.HASP is a collaboration one of the Louisiana Area Grant Consortium, the Astrophysics Department of NASA's Scientific research Mission Directorate, and also the firm's Balloon System Office and also Columbia Scientific Balloon Center. The HASP system supports approximately 12 student-built hauls as well as is developed to trip examination portable satellites, models, as well as other tiny experiments. Given that 2006, HASP has actually interacted much more than 1,600 undergraduate as well as graduate students involved in the purposes.Groups participating in the 2024 HASP 1.0 trip featured: University of North Fla as well as College of North Dakota Arizona State Educational Institution Louisiana Condition Educational Institution Educational Institution of Colorado Boulder College of the Canyons Fort Lewis University Capitol Building Technical College Educational Institution of Arizona Universidad Nacional de Ingenieru00eda (Peru) as well as McMaster University (Canada).A brand new, larger version of the High-Altitude Student System (HASP 2.0) possessed its design exam flight a handful of times prior. HASP 2.0 will be able to suit twice as a lot of student practices as HASP 1.0 as soon as functional in the following year.The staying 3 balloon air travels set up for the 2024 Fort Sumner fall initiative await upcoming launch opportunities.
