“At AERD, we’re one big family. Even when things get rough, we’re always there by each other’s side, brainstorming until we find a solution. We’ve come a long way from where we started, and yet it’s only the beginning. “Per aspera ad astra, “through hardships to the stars.” Go AERD, the stars’ the limit.”

“AERD is a place where talent converges, and dreams sprout wings. Impossible? Challenges? That’s our favourite word. Our rockets? They will be whispers of tomorrow’s legacy, soaring through the cosmos. And in this celestial theatre, we play our part—pioneers, visionaries, cosmic architects.”

Solid propulsion
“Engineering is the coolest thing that is closer to magic in this world ” It is AERD where we research and re-engineer our builds to the best possible fit for our Rocket. If you are too passionate to dive into it you are welcome. It’s not ROCKET SCIENCE…..Wait, It is !!

“AERD is the ultimate destination for the nation’s most passionate individuals who traverse this complex landscape of rocket development with insane grit and dedication. Truly inspiring.”
Syeda Mahmuda (Neha)
Parachute Development
“AERD is the place where I started to believe in how constant prayers and hardworks will bring you opportunities on your doorstep. I do not fear to start anything new, because every time I fall, I get back up with the courage of my team to work even more better. The perfect place where I can learn and grow everyday, something I will never get tired of.”
Mushfiqur Shadhin
Avionics & Guidance Navigation and Control
“AERD is where imagination and dreams come to fruition. We’re constantly tackling new problems and addressing them with novel solutions and ideas. It gets tough and challenging, but I’ve never expected any less as someone coming into rocketry. So far it’s been an amazing experience, and I for sure wouldn’t trade it for anything else.”
Ian Meservey
Logistics Officer
“It’s the thrill of building rocket engines that gets me excited. It’s surely dangerous and at times risky, but it’s all part of our journey and I’m all for it. Not everyone has the opportunity to touch or even see a rocket engine in real life, I’m just glad that I have personally had that opportunity and will now do everything to keep it going.”
