.NASA's Scientific Balloon Course's fifth balloon purpose of the 2024 fall campaign flew Wednesday, Sept. 4, 2024, coming from the company's Columbia Scientific Balloon Resource in Fort Sumner, New Mexico. The HASP 1.0 (High-Altitude Pupil Platform) objective continued to be in flight over 11 hours just before it carefully touched down.
