.NASA's Scientific Balloon Program's fifth balloon goal of the 2024 loss initiative flew Wednesday, Sept. 4, 2024, from the organization's Columbia Scientific Balloon Center in Ft Sumner, New Mexico. The HASP 1.0 (High-Altitude Trainee Platform) purpose remained in trip over 11 hours just before it safely and securely touched down.

The HASP system supports up to 12 student-built payloads and also is made to trip examination sleek satellites, models, and various other tiny experiments. Considering that 2006, HASP has actually interacted much more than 1,600 undergraduate and also graduate students involved in the goals.Teams taking part in the 2024 HASP 1.0 flight consisted of: College of North Fla and also College of North Dakota Arizona Condition Educational Institution Louisiana State Educational Institution College of Colorado Stone College of the Canyons Ft Lewis University Capitol Technical University Educational Institution of Arizona Universidad Nacional de Ingenieru00eda (Peru) and also McMaster College (Canada).A brand-new, larger version of the High-Altitude Student System (HASP 2.0) possessed its own design test air travel a couple of days prior. HASP 2.0 will have the ability to suit twice as several trainee practices as HASP 1.0 when functional in the next year.The remaining 3 balloon trips set up for the 2024 Fort Sumner fall initiative await upcoming launch chances.
