Who is running haarp

Scientific instruments installed at the HAARP Observatory can also be used for a variety of continuing research efforts which do not involve the use of the IRI but are strictly passive. These include ionospheric characterization using satellite beacons, telescopic observation of the fine structure in the aurora and documentation of long-term variations in the ozone layer.

The HAARP site is an ideal location for deploying synergistic instrumentation for studying radio and space physics. The HAARP program is committed to developing a world-class ionospheric research facility consisting of: The Ionospheric Research Instrument, a high power transmitter facility operating in the High Frequency range. One such study was using the antenna array to heat a part of the ionosphere, which in turn acted as a low-frequency antenna that could send an ocean-penetrating signal to a submarine.

The military experiments and the complex nature of studying a region people cannot see or easily understand have fed a controversy about HAARP.

As technicians at the site replace vacuum tubes and lubricate moving capacitor plates that make up the powerful radio-frequency transmitters, HAARP is readying for its first customers of a new era. Skip to main content. The facility is a massive instrument made up of large antennas sprawling over 33 acres. Add that to its remote location, and that fact that it was built as a joint project involving the U.

HAARP is far from the death ray or weapon of psychic warfare that some people are convinced it is. HAARP was built to study the ionosphere—the upper edge of the atmosphere where phenomena like the Aurora Borealis originate, as well as where radio waves travel from transmitter to receiver.
