.NASA's Scientific Balloon Course's 5th balloon goal of the 2024 fall initiative flew Wednesday, Sept. 4, 2024, from the agency's Columbia Scientific Balloon Location in Fortress Sumner, New Mexico. The HASP 1.0 (High-Altitude Pupil System) purpose remained in flight over 11 hrs just before it properly touched down.
