.NASA's Scientific Balloon Program's fifth balloon objective of the 2024 autumn campaign took flight Wednesday, Sept. 4, 2024, from the company's Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility in Fortress Sumner, New Mexico. The HASP 1.0 (High-Altitude Student Platform) objective continued to be in tour over 11 hours just before it properly touched down. Rehabilitation is actually underway.HASP is a relationship one of the Louisiana Area Give Range, the Astrophysics Division of NASA's Science Objective Directorate, and also the agency's Balloon System Office and Columbia Scientific Balloon Establishment. The HASP system supports around 12 student-built hauls as well as is designed to air travel test small gpses, models, as well as various other little practices. Since 2006, HASP has involved much more than 1,600 undergraduate and graduate students involved in the purposes.Teams joining the 2024 HASP 1.0 tour featured: University of North Florida as well as College of North Dakota Arizona Condition University Louisiana Condition Educational Institution Educational Institution of Colorado Rock College of the Canyons Ft Lewis University Capitol Building Technical College Educational Institution of Arizona Universidad Nacional de Ingenieru00eda (Peru) as well as McMaster Educational Institution (Canada).A brand-new, bigger model of the High-Altitude Trainee System (HASP 2.0) had its own engineering exam trip a couple of times prior. HASP 2.0 will certainly have the ability to suit twice as lots of trainee practices as HASP 1.0 the moment functional in the upcoming year.The staying three balloon tours planned for the 2024 Fortress Sumner drop project await upcoming launch chances.
