Starcloud‑1 satellite mission
We’re proud to share our role in the Starcloud‑1 satellite mission, a landmark project demonstrating the innovation and reliability of our engineering team here at EECL.
For this mission, we designed, manufactured, and tested the X-Band front-end module, a critical component of the satellite’s communication system. This hardware enables high-frequency data transmission, ensuring robust and efficient links between the satellite and ground stations.
Starcloud‑1 was successfully launched on 2 November 2025 into low Earth orbit at approximately 325 km. Following deployment, the satellite entered nominal operations, with attitude control stable, batteries topped off, and communications established with ground stations—marking a significant milestone for orbital data center technology.
This project highlights our expertise in RF and microwave engineering and our commitment to delivering space-qualified systems that perform flawlessly in demanding environments. From concept to qualification, every stage was completed in-house, reflecting EECL’s end-to-end capability and dedication to quality.
The success of the Starcloud‑1 mission marks another step forward in our ongoing work to support next-generation satellite communications and space technology, demonstrating the real-world impact of our engineering solutions in orbit.
We are proud to announce that EECL has been shortlisted as a finalist in the Design Team of the Year category at the Elektra Awards 2025, one of the most prestigious events in the electronics industry.
The Elektra Awards celebrate innovation, teamwork, and excellence across the sector, and being recognised as a finalist is a fantastic achievement for our team. It reflects the dedication, expertise, and collaborative spirit that drives everything we do at EECL.
We look forward to joining industry peers at the awards ceremony later this year and celebrating the best in electronics design and engineering.
