FACILITY_RECON // SITE_ALPHA
Our primary technical partner. Located near Shahapur, this facility provides our community with access to research-grade optics and dark skies.
Since 2015, the light of the Indian night sky has been vanishing at a rate of 9.2% per year. For 80% of our people, the Milky Way is now an invisible memory.
This is more than data loss. It is the physical erasure of 400 billion stars from our collective consciousness.
We stand on the shoulders of giants. The Archives are a collection of the pioneers and machines that defined our reach into the cosmos before the urban haze set in.
