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 Elijah (Pres.) or Jack (V.P.).
