High Altitude Student Platform 2006 Overview (HASP)

• Provides student teams the opportunity to develop and operate inexpensive small payloads on a dedicated balloon platform.
• Flight test up to 12 student built payloads.
• First HASP Flight contained 7 student payloads from 5 institutions as follows:
• University of Alabama - Huntsville: Infrared telescopes to remotely study the thermal characteristics of the balloon envelope (3 small)

• Texas A & M University: Video camera system to study remote sensing from high altitude (1 small)
• University of Louisiana - Lafayette: Nuclear emulsion stack to investigate high energy cosmic rays (1 large)
• Louisiana State University (Mechanical Eng.): Study the flow characteristics of various rocket nozzles as a function of altitude (1 large)
• Louisiana State University (Physics): Prototype of an accelerometer based inertial navigation system (1 small)
• The call for proposals for payload for FY07 was announced in October.
