The number of experiments is the highest so far under a five-year, $9.3 million grant awarded last year by the National Science Foundation to establish the Subauroral Geophysical Observatory at HAARP. The observatory’s purpose is the exploration of Earth’s upper atmosphere and geospace environment. “The October research campaign is our ...
HAARP creates airglow by exciting electrons in Earth’s ionosphere, similar to how solar energy creates natural aurora, with on and off pulses of high-frequency radio transmissions. HAARP’s Ionospheric Research Instrument, a phased array of 180 high-frequency antennas spread across 33 acres, can radiate 3.6 megawatts into the upper ...
HAARP will transmit a continually chirping signal to asteroid 2010 XC15 at slightly above and below 9.6 megahertz (9.6 million times per second). The chirp will repeat at two-second intervals. Distance will be a challenge, Haynes said, because the asteroid will be twice as far from Earth as the moon is.
NASA and HAARP conclude asteroid experiment. December 29, 2022 / Rod Boyce. A powerful transmitter in remote Alaska sent long wavelength radio signals into space Dec. 27 with the purpose of bouncing them off an asteroid to learn about its interior. The asteroid, 2010 XC15, is estimated to be about 500 feet across and is passing by Earth at two ...

The open house runs from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 27. Download the event flyer. A promotional video for the open house is available online. The health and safety of visitors, staff and volunteers is the HAARP staff's highest priority. To reduce the risk of COVID-19 transmission, HAARP visitors are required to mask indoors at all times ...
“The return of PARS marks a milestone for HAARP and the geospace communities,” HAARP Director Jessica Matthews said. “With a strong foundation laid during previous PARS events from 2000 to 2012, PARS 2023 is committed to meeting the growing demand for skilled scientists and engineers with knowledge of the special effects that occur in the ...

Accept. Since it was established by an Act of Congress in 1946, scientists at the Geophysical Institute have studied geophysical processes from the center of the Earth to the surface of the sun and beyond, turning data and observations into information useful for state, Arctic and national priorities.
