.NASA's Scientific Balloon System's 5th balloon objective of the 2024 loss project flew Wednesday, Sept. 4, 2024, coming from the firm's Columbia Scientific Balloon Resource in Ft Sumner, New Mexico. The HASP 1.0 (High-Altitude Pupil Platform) mission remained in flight over 11 hrs before it properly touched down.
