The Nepal Earthquakes:
Two Disasters, 9000 Lives Lost
In 2015, Nepal was struck by two catastrophic earthquakes, resulting in approximately 9,000 deaths and widespread destruction of cities. The ensuing devastation underscored the urgent need for effective disaster response and recovery solutions.
The Student
Who Flew Drones Over Ruins
As a junior aerospace engineering student, our founder, Peter Park, was deeply affected by the scene of the earthquake's aftermath. Driven by a desire to help, he came up with the idea of using drones to map the affected areas and provide crucial data to support in recovery efforts. This was the beginning of Angelswing.
First Project of Angelswing
The initial project involved collaborating with local organizations to deploy drones for mapping the disaster-stricken areas. This initiative provided valuable insights into the extent of the damage and demonstrated the potential of drone technology in disaster management.

Empowering Locals
with Technology
At Kathmandu University, the founder conducted seminars and workshops, sharing drone mapping technology with the Robotics Club and local students.
"Technology gave us hope and tools to rebuild."
2018 Palu Earthquake in Indonesia
In 2018, Angelswing expanded its mission to Indonesia by mapping the city of Palu after a massive earthquake. The team created detailed maps of an area equivalent to 10,000 soccer fields and worked closely with Indonesian disaster response agencies (BNPB, BPPT) to provide actionable data.
"I knew I had to take action and use technology to help."
