.NASA's Scientific Balloon Plan's 5th balloon objective of the 2024 loss campaign took flight Wednesday, Sept. 4, 2024, from the firm's Columbia Scientific Balloon Resource in Fortress Sumner, New Mexico. The HASP 1.0 (High-Altitude Pupil Platform) goal continued to be in flight over 11 hrs prior to it safely touched down. Rehabilitation is actually underway.HASP is an alliance amongst the Louisiana Space Grant Consortium, the Astrophysics Branch of NASA's Science Objective Directorate, and also the company's Balloon Plan Office and also Columbia Scientific Balloon Amenities. The HASP system supports approximately 12 student-built hauls and also is actually designed to trip test compact satellites, prototypes, and also various other small practices. Since 2006, HASP has involved greater than 1,600 undergraduate and also college students associated with the missions.Groups participating in the 2024 HASP 1.0 flight featured: Educational institution of North Florida and also University of North Dakota Arizona State Educational Institution Louisiana State College College of Colorado Rock University of the Canyons Fort Lewis College Capitol Technical University College of Arizona Universidad Nacional de Ingenieru00eda (Peru) and also McMaster Educational Institution (Canada).A brand new, larger version of the High-Altitude Pupil System (HASP 2.0) had its engineering exam trip a handful of days prior. HASP 2.0 will have the ability to fit two times as lots of trainee experiments as HASP 1.0 the moment functional in the following year.The continuing to be three balloon flights planned for the 2024 Fort Sumner drop campaign await following launch options.
