The following are examples of university and college student participation in
the HASP program:
• University of Minnesota: Flight Test of GRID on the High Altitude X-Ray
and Gamma-Ray Detector Testbed (HAXDT).
• College of the Canyons: Electrostatic Cosmic Dust Collector.
• McMaster University (Canada): Stratospheric Measurements of Charged
and Neutral Radiation.
• Renert High School (Canada): High Altitude Launch 9000 (HAL9000).
• University of Maryland: High Altitude Atmospheric Turbulence, Triggered
Release Information Carrier (HAAT-TRIC).
• Durham Technical Community College: The Greenhouse, Ozone and
Atmospheric Trace gas (GOAT).
• University of North Dakota and University of North Florida: Ozone Sensors
Payload.
• University of Bridgeport: Near Space CubeSat Test.
• University of Central Florida: Hazardous Gases for Harsh Environments
LED Sensor.
• University of Houston: Stratospheric Organisms and Radiation Analyzer SORA.
• University of Colorado Boulder: Expandable Soft-Shell Structure.
• Arizona State University: High Altitude Light Intensity Analysis (HALIA).
See Chapter 10 for more on education, training and careers.
