.NASA's Scientific Balloon Plan's fifth balloon objective of the 2024 loss campaign took flight Wednesday, Sept. 4, 2024, coming from the firm's Columbia Scientific Balloon Location in Fort Sumner, New Mexico. The HASP 1.0 (High-Altitude Pupil Platform) objective remained in flight over 11 hours before it carefully touched down. Healing is actually underway.HASP is a collaboration one of the Louisiana Space Grant Range, the Astrophysics Division of NASA's Scientific research Goal Directorate, and also the company's Balloon Course Workplace and also Columbia Scientific Balloon Location. The HASP platform sustains up to 12 student-built hauls and is designed to flight test sleek gpses, models, and also various other little experiments. Due to the fact that 2006, HASP has actually involved much more than 1,600 undergraduate as well as graduate students associated with the missions.Crews joining the 2024 HASP 1.0 tour featured: College of North Florida as well as Educational Institution of North Dakota Arizona State Educational Institution Louisiana State Educational Institution Educational Institution of Colorado Stone University of the Canyons Ft Lewis University Capitol Technical University University of Arizona Universidad Nacional de Ingenieru00eda (Peru) as well as McMaster Educational Institution (Canada).A brand new, much larger model of the High-Altitude Student Platform (HASP 2.0) possessed its design examination flight a couple of times prior. HASP 2.0 will definitely have the capacity to suit twice as many student experiments as HASP 1.0 as soon as operational in the upcoming year.The remaining 3 balloon flights scheduled for the 2024 Fort Sumner drop project await next launch chances.
