.NASA's Scientific Balloon Plan's 5th balloon mission of the 2024 autumn campaign flew Wednesday, Sept. 4, 2024, coming from the agency's Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility in Fortress Sumner, New Mexico. The HASP 1.0 (High-Altitude Student Platform) purpose continued to be in flight over 11 hours before it safely touched down.

The HASP platform assists approximately 12 student-built hauls as well as is created to tour exam compact satellites, prototypes, and also other little experiments. Because 2006, HASP has interacted much more than 1,600 undergraduate and also college students involved in the objectives.Groups joining the 2024 HASP 1.0 flight featured: University of North Fla and also University of North Dakota Arizona State University Louisiana Condition University University of Colorado Boulder College of the Canyons Fortress Lewis College Capitol Building Technical University College of Arizona Universidad Nacional de Ingenieru00eda (Peru) as well as McMaster Educational Institution (Canada).A brand-new, bigger version of the High-Altitude Student Platform (HASP 2.0) had its own engineering test flight a couple of times prior. HASP 2.0 will manage to fit two times as lots of pupil practices as HASP 1.0 the moment operational in the following year.The staying three balloon tours booked for the 2024 Ft Sumner drop campaign await upcoming launch possibilities.
