The facility is also going to be generating artificial aurorae. At full power, HAARP’s transmitter can produce a glowing plasma high in the sky that, although not as bright as the natural aurora borealis, is visible to the naked eye.
The success of these initial experiments will be critical in demonstrating the long-term viability of HAARP to the agencies funding the efforts along with the navy: the National Science Foundation and U.S. Department of Energy.

The High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program in Gakona, Alaska was abandoned by the military 3 years ago. Scientists at UofA at Fairbanks Geophysical Institute felt is was a waste of taxpayer funded resources to dismantle the equipment, so they have fundraised to repair and use the facility for continued research. That research begins this week according to Scient ific American.

The University will support experiments for about 2 years. They hope heating the ionosphere, using it as a plasma lab, will yield results to experiments that will justify continued support and attract new financial sponsors, for future experiments.
It's back. One of the conspiracy world's favorite topics.
Experiments are scheduled through the end of the month at the High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program or HAARP facility. It’s the first time science is being conducted at the ionospheric research station in Gakona since the University of Alaska Fairbanks took it over from the Air Force in 2015.

Mitchell said HAARP is being operated on a pay-as-you-go basis, similar to the Poker Flat Rocket launch facility it runs for NASA. She said HAARP is expected to be on line for less than a day during this first run of projects because it’s costly to operate.
“The rate for running HAARP runs about $5,000 an hour,” Mitchell said. “The generators are very expensive. It’d take a lot of fuel to run per hour, so that’s the main cost.”

Agencies funding this month’s HAARP research projects include the National Science Foundation, The Los Alamos National Laboratory and the Naval Research laboratory. UAF-based researchers are involved in the projects.
