.NASA's Scientific Balloon Course's 5th balloon mission of the 2024 autumn project flew Wednesday, Sept. 4, 2024, coming from the company's Columbia Scientific Balloon Center in Fortress Sumner, New Mexico. The HASP 1.0 (High-Altitude Student System) objective remained in tour over 11 hours prior to it safely touched down. Recuperation is actually underway.HASP is a relationship one of the Louisiana Space Grant Consortium, the Astrophysics Division of NASA's Science Purpose Directorate, and also the agency's Balloon System Office and also Columbia Scientific Balloon Center. The HASP platform supports up to 12 student-built hauls as well as is designed to flight exam compact satellites, prototypes, as well as various other tiny practices. Because 2006, HASP has actually interacted greater than 1,600 undergraduate as well as graduate students associated with the goals.Teams participating in the 2024 HASP 1.0 tour included: University of North Florida and College of North Dakota Arizona State Educational Institution Louisiana Condition College University of Colorado Boulder University 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, bigger model of the High-Altitude Pupil System (HASP 2.0) possessed its own engineering examination trip a few days prior. HASP 2.0 will certainly be able to accommodate two times as lots of student practices as HASP 1.0 when working in the following year.The continuing to be 3 balloon trips planned for the 2024 Ft Sumner fall project wait for next launch possibilities. To trail the objectives, go to NASA's Columbia Scientific Balloon Center website for real-time updates on balloons altitudes as well as GPS places during flight.For additional information on NASA's Scientific Balloon Program, see:.https://www.nasa.gov/scientificballoons.
