Abstract

The ANtarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA) is a NASA-sponsored long-duration balloon experiment designed to detect radio Cherenkov pulses from particle showers initiated by UHE neutrinos in the Antarctic ice. ANITA is scheduled to fly during this Austral summer (Dec 2006 -- Jan 2007). We present an overview of the ANITA experiment and its goals. We will also give an update on the experiment's current status. Milestones in the past year include an engineering flight in August 2005 and a beamtest using an ice target at SLAC in June 2006.
