.NASA's Scientific Balloon Plan's 5th balloon goal of the 2024 fall campaign took flight Wednesday, Sept. 4, 2024, coming from the organization's Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility in Ft Sumner, New Mexico. The HASP 1.0 (High-Altitude Pupil Platform) purpose continued to be in tour over 11 hrs before it properly touched down.

The HASP platform sustains up to 12 student-built payloads and also is made to flight examination small satellites, models, and also other small experiments. Considering that 2006, HASP has actually interacted greater than 1,600 undergraduate as well as graduate students involved in the missions.Staffs joining the 2024 HASP 1.0 flight included: University of North Florida and also University of North Dakota Arizona State College Louisiana State University Educational Institution of Colorado Stone College of the Canyons Fortress Lewis University Capitol Building Technical College College of Arizona Universidad Nacional de Ingenieru00eda (Peru) as well as McMaster University (Canada).A new, larger model of the High-Altitude Student Platform (HASP 2.0) possessed its own design test tour a few times prior. HASP 2.0 will manage to suit twice as several student experiments as HASP 1.0 as soon as working in the upcoming year.The continuing to be 3 balloon tours set up for the 2024 Fortress Sumner drop campaign wait for following launch chances.
