Here are some of our current activities:

The Denver North Operations Center is up and running. Our students have completed several quasar runs for the GAVRT program. The students successfully tracked and recorded data from Quasar 3C 48 and Quasar 0059+581, both about 10 billion lightyears away. See our students in action.

Our Aviation Team is building a full scale flying replica of the World War I French Fighter - Morane Saulnier type N - in the school's aircraft hangar. Check out our recent construction pics.

The Aviation Team is active in RC Aircraft construction and flying.

We have several students studying for their Amateur Radio licenses. We are also constructing tower and antenna systems for HF, digital and satellite communications.

The IAAS hosts the Colorado Astronomy Net on the Rocky Mountain Radio League repeater on a frequency of 146.94 MHz on Tuesday nights at 7 PM Mountain time.

The Astronomy and Radio Teams are collaborating on several NASA related projects, including Radio Jove.

Our Teams are scheduled for numerous Outreach Events including:

Northwest Coalition Fair
Star Labs at North High School, other schools and venues which include Federal and State Park services
Hosting tours at the Greeley, CO Nuclear Missile Site Museum
Participating in Amateur Radio Field Day using our new club call sign WØNHS
