Arecibo Science Advocacy Partnership

The Arecibo Science Advocacy Partnership

The Arecibo Science Advocacy Partnership (ASAP) is a team of scientists and educators from Puerto Rico and around the world. ASAP seeks to retain and advance the scientific excellence of science at the Arecibo Observatory and to publicize its accomplishments in astronomy, aeronomy, and planetary radar. ASAP fully participates in contributing towards scientific, engineering, and educational plans for the development over the short term (1-3 yr), medium term (3-10 yr), and long term future of AO from the year 2021. ASAP also works to mobilize the existing broad base of support for Arecibo science within the fields it serves directly, the broad scientific community, and the general public. Please check out our full Statement of Purpose, and Statement on Assessing the Loss of the Telescope.
