Arizona Near Space Research (ANSR), a 501(c)(3) organization that promotes science, technology, education and mathematics (STEM) through Amateur Radio and High-Altitude Balloons (ARHAB) has supported NASA Space Grant programs since 2001. ANSR has conducted nearly 65 high-altitude balloon flights reaching up to 117,127 feet, many carrying student payload projects. Many more exciting flights which YOU can participate in are currently being planned.
A successful ARHAB group uses a variety of skills. These include:
-- APRS (packet), DF, DX, GPS, TV receivers, transmitters and multiple antenna types;
-- electronic and mechanical design and fabrication;
-- digital design and programming;
-- weather and flight path prediction; and;
-- many other STEM related activities.
If you're ready to roll up your sleeves and have some real fun while honing these skills, please join us! Hands-on participation by interested radio amateurs, non-amateurs and STEM oriented educational/student group participation is especially welcome.
Our regular monthly meetings are teleconferenced on the third Monday at 7:30 PM (0230 UTC).
For call-list inclusion, ANSR members should contact Jack (Pres.) or Elijah (V.P.).
