.NASA's Scientific Balloon Plan's fifth balloon goal of the 2024 loss campaign flew Wednesday, Sept. 4, 2024, from the firm's Columbia Scientific Balloon Center in Fortress Sumner, New Mexico. The HASP 1.0 (High-Altitude Student Platform) goal continued to be in trip over 11 hours just before it safely touched down. Recovery is underway.HASP is a collaboration one of the Louisiana Room Give Consortium, the Astrophysics Department of NASA's Science Goal Directorate, as well as the firm's Balloon Plan Workplace as well as Columbia Scientific Balloon Center. The HASP platform assists as much as 12 student-built hauls and also is actually made to tour test small gpses, prototypes, as well as various other small practices. Due to the fact that 2006, HASP has involved much more than 1,600 undergraduate and graduate students associated with the goals.Staffs participating in the 2024 HASP 1.0 tour consisted of: Educational institution of North Florida and also Educational Institution of North Dakota Arizona Condition University Louisiana State College University of Colorado Boulder College of the Canyons Fort Lewis College Capitol Technical College University of Arizona Universidad Nacional de Ingenieru00eda (Peru) and also McMaster Educational Institution (Canada).A brand new, much larger variation of the High-Altitude Student Platform (HASP 2.0) had its own design exam trip a handful of days prior. HASP 2.0 is going to manage to fit twice as a lot of pupil experiments as HASP 1.0 the moment operational in the upcoming year.The staying three balloon trips set up for the 2024 Fortress Sumner fall campaign wait for following launch chances.
