Abstract
jats:titleAjats:scbstract</jats:sc></jats:title>jats:pWe construct an ambitwistor string that describes Type II supergravity on AdSjats:sub3</jats:sub>jats:italic×</jats:italic>Sjats:sup3</jats:sup>with pure NS flux. The background Einstein equations ensure that the model is anomaly free. The spectrum consists of supergravity fluctuations around this background, with no higher string states.
