.NASA's Scientific Balloon Program's 5th balloon mission of the 2024 fall campaign flew Wednesday, Sept. 4, 2024, from the firm's Columbia Scientific Balloon Location in Fortress Sumner, New Mexico. The HASP 1.0 (High-Altitude Trainee Platform) goal stayed in flight over 11 hours prior to it securely touched down.
