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.
