.NASA's Scientific Balloon Program's fifth balloon objective of the 2024 loss project took flight Wednesday, Sept. 4, 2024, from the firm's Columbia Scientific Balloon Location in Fort Sumner, New Mexico. The HASP 1.0 (High-Altitude Trainee Platform) objective remained in air travel over 11 hours prior to it safely and securely touched down. Recuperation is underway.HASP is actually a partnership amongst the Louisiana Space Give Consortium, the Astrophysics Branch of NASA's Scientific research Mission Directorate, as well as the organization's Balloon Program Office as well as Columbia Scientific Balloon Center.
