The HASP flight was finally terminated today (9/16/2008) at 23:23:33 UTC. This flight lasted about 31.8 hours with about 30 hours at float. The recovery crew is on-site and has the parachute in visual range. Impact should be with the next few minutes and I expect HASP will be returned to the Fort Sumner balloon base sometime tomorrow.
I wish to thank all the Columbia Scientific Balloon Facility personnel who, as usual, provide exceptional support for the HASP students and team and, in addition, who have provided a spectacular flight that I'm sure none of us will forget very soon.
