Avembsys Aerospace Research Lab

Our lab is at 104 Whitefield Main Road. If you know this part of Bangalore, you know how much it has changed. We used to be surrounded by empty lots, and now it’s all tall buildings and IT parks. Avembsys is where we spend our days looking into aerospace stuff. It sounds complicated, and it is, but for us, it’s just the job. We have a lot of equipment that looks like it belongs in a sci-fi movie, but most of it is just for testing small parts and running simulations. The lab is usually kept quite clean because dust isn't good for the sensors. We spend a lot of time staring at data and trying to figure out why something didn't work the way it was supposed to. It’s not all exciting research; there is a lot of writing things down and checking boxes. Sometimes we stay late when a test is running, and the only thing open nearby is the small tea stall down the road. We have a small kitchenette where we make way too much coffee. It’s a quiet place for the most part, except when we have the cooling fans running. We are just a group of people who are really interested in how things fly. It’s a bit cramped with all the gear, but we manage to get things done in our own way.
