The fully completed and operational "instrument" with 180 transmitting towers.

After 15 years of effort from multiple contractors and enduring multiple conspiracy theories alleging it is a “doomsday weapon,” the world’s most advanced high-energy radio physics experiment know as HAARP (High Frequency Active Auroral Research Program) was declared fully operational in a Wednesday afternoon ribbon-cutting ceremony outside the central Alaska hamlet of Gakona.
Built upon the site of a canceled Air Force over-the-horizon radar site, the massive "instrument" as it is called, comprises 180 transmitter towers occupying several acres. The precisely placed and aligned towers dwarf the scrubby black spruce forest and look like a science fiction movie set piece. These high frequency transmitters work in close conjunction to precisely “heat” discrete areas of the Earth’s upper atmosphere known as the ionosphere, which is located from about 30 to 500 miles in altitude. HAARP’s focused radio transmissions temporarily increase the temperature and energy level of the ions and molecules in the upper atmosphere. This heating can produce spots of man-made aurora, though they pale in comparison to the power of the natural aurora and are visible only with sensitive night-vision cameras.
HAARP is jointly administered by the U.S. Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency (DARPA), the U.S. Air Force Research Laboratory (AFRL) and the U.S. Office of Naval Research (ONR) and is run by BAE Systems, the world’s fourth-largest defense contractor.
Adjusting for inflation, approximately $300 million have been spent on the project since its beginning 15 years ago. Currently, annual operations run at about $7.5 million, which also funds the salaries of the dozen or so permanent employees. The mix of pure/academic ionospheric and auroral research to defense-related efforts is about 50/50. Each experiment, or campaign as they are called, is funded by whatever school, institution or defense agency conducting the campaign.
Though there are other radio-frequency research heaters located around the world, including the much smaller University of California HIPAS facility near Fairbanks, HAARP is by far the most powerful. HAARP was originally managed by ARCO, which was looking for an onsite way to use North Slope natural gas deposits to generate electricity to power the heater. That plan was shelved though HAARP is often confused with an enormous one-mile square heater designed by Dr. Bernard Eastland that would have used natural gas to power fire HF energy into near-earth space to create a global blanket of high energy electrons capable of frying any satellite or enemy ballistic missile flying though it as well as effecting changes to the weather (HAARP is not that machine nor does it emit a fraction of Eastland machines energy). HAARP uses five large diesel-powered generators to supply electricity to the transmitters. The heater has a broadcast power of 3,600 kilowatts, and within the narrow high frequency transmission band HAARP has an effective radiating power of over 7 gigawatts (billion watts). Housekeeping power is drawn from the local public grid.
