.NASA's Scientific Balloon Program's 5th balloon mission of the 2024 loss project flew Wednesday, Sept. 4, 2024, coming from the firm's Columbia Scientific Balloon Resource in Fort Sumner, New Mexico. The HASP 1.0 (High-Altitude Trainee System) purpose stayed in trip over 11 hours prior to it safely touched down.
