High Altitude Observatory

The High Altitude Observatory (HAO) conducts research. It provides support and facilities for the solar-terrestrial physics research community in solar and heliospheric physics, and the effects of solar variability on the Earth's magnetosphere, ionosphere, and upper atmosphere. HAO's mission is to understand the behaviour of the Sun and its impact on the Earth, to support, enhance, and extend the capabilities of the university community and the broader scientific community.
