Arizona Near Space Research (ANSR), a scientific-educational, 501(c)(3), amateur radio balloon group, has established its place in the Arizona Amateur Radio and Science scene. We have conducted many (50+) high altitude balloon flights reaching up to 117,127 feet, many carrying student payload projects. More exciting flights are on the planning board, flights YOU can participate in.

The group is focused on "Promoting Science and Education through Amateur Radio and High Altitude Balloons." Hands-on participation by interested radio amateurs and non-amateurs alike is welcomed. Educational group and student participation is especially welcome.

A variety of skills and tasks are required to make the balloon group successful. These include ATV, packet and APRS, model building, electronics design and assembly, digital design and programming, radio DF'ing / DX'ing, weather and flight path predicting and many others. If you're ready to roll up your sleeves and have some real fun, join us!

We hold our regular monthly meetings on the third Monday of each month, at 7:30 PM (0230 UTC) on the ASU campus. Please observe ASU parking lot, garage and meter restrictions. Meeting is conducted in Room 104 of the Moeur Building. Use the Main (North) entrance on Orange Mall. We will monitor 146.56 simplex to let you in the building or if you need directions.
