- 3745 - ASTRONOMY - with radio signals? HAARP is the “High-frequency Active Auroral Research Program” in the midst of a wide-ranging science campaign that will see the facility bounce signals off the moon and Jupiter.
--------------------- 3745 - ASTRONOMY - with radio signals?
- HAARP consists of 180 antennas designed to transmit signals into the ionosphere, which stretches from 30 miles to 600 miles above sea level. This is seen as the area where Earth's atmosphere meets space.
-
- The ionosphere plays an important role in radio transmission, as it reflects radio waves. Many satellites occupy this region of the atmosphere, which is heavily influenced by solar weather.
-
- Among the 13 experiments being conducted are projects that will see signals bounced off the moon and Jupiter in order to test HAARP's ability to study objects far from Earth.
-
- One of the most ambitious experiments being carried out is known as "Jupiter Bounce," or "Interplanetary Ionosonde" . The experiment will test HAARP's ability to bounce signals off the ionosphere of Jupiter, while also determining how well receivers at the University of New Mexico's Long Wavelength Array can receive the reflected signals.
-
- HAARP transmits several different frequencies directed at Jupiter. Then listen for the echo that returns. That should tell us something about electromagnetic conditions around Jupiter.
-
- Another experiment, "Moon Bounce," will see signals bounced off the moon back towards receivers in New Mexico and California. These signals will be evaluated for their use in determining the composition of near-Earth asteroids for future planetary defense purposes.
-
- HAARP's "Making the Invisible Visible" experiment will test if hot electrons are capable of producing the continuum white emissions present in “STEVE’ airglow. STEVE, “Strong Thermal Emission Velocity Enhancement“, is an aurora-like phenomenon that occurs when charged particles from the sun interact with Earth's ionosphere.
-
- If we see that air glow and it matches the wavelength of light that we see from naturally occurring STEVE, that would give us indication that the hot electrons are playing some role in its formation.
-
- Another one of the experiments, "Ghosts in the Airglow," will mix art and atmospheric research to play with the liminal boundaries of Earth's atmosphere and outer space. The experiment will use HAARP to bounce images, spoken word and sound art off the ionosphere to learn more about radio propagation. Satellites can disappear in major solar storms and it could take weeks to find them.
