.NASA's Scientific Balloon System's 5th balloon mission of the 2024 loss initiative took flight Wednesday, Sept. 4, 2024, from the company's Columbia Scientific Balloon Resource in Fort Sumner, New Mexico. The HASP 1.0 (High-Altitude Trainee Platform) mission continued to be in trip over 11 hrs prior to it carefully touched down. Healing is actually underway.HASP is actually an alliance amongst the Louisiana Space Give Consortium, the Astrophysics Branch of NASA's Scientific research Objective Directorate, and also the firm's Balloon Plan Workplace and Columbia Scientific Balloon Center. The HASP platform sustains approximately 12 student-built hauls and is actually created to tour examination small gpses, prototypes, and other tiny practices.
