Interior Alaska's HAARP facility is a magnet for conspiracy theories (no, it doesn't control people's minds). What really happens there: Scientists study the region of space that's home to the aurora, at times using antennas to heat the ionosphere.
The upper atmosphere-heating facility named HAARP is located on about 5,000 acres between the small Alaska towns of Glennallen and Tok.
That acronym added to the mystery of a field of antennas that can heat a region of space far above our heads with radio waves powered by five powerful diesel generators, each the size of a fuel truck. “So we could be as transparent and open as possible,” she said. “Throw open the gate, and show people what’s here.”
Due to the end of the Cold War, that radar was never built. Instead, Air Force workers installed a field of 18 antennas that broadcast high-frequency waves up to the ionosphere, the region of space that is home to the aurora. Others used it to do applied research for the military. In one such study, researchers used the antenna array to heat a part of the ionosphere that in turn acted as a low frequency antenna that could send an ocean-penetrating signal to a submarine. That ping could tell a submarine captain to surface in order to receive conventional radio communications.
